I think three things:
1) Probably some IBM OS can still run software from the 60s or something...but specific versions of the OS or older hardware probably not supported of course

IBM are in a totally different space to end user computing with their System/360 (for example) compatible stuff. Go price up some IBM mainframes... yes you can buy stuff today that will run software from the 1960s. No it is not cheap.

IBM Z - Wikipedia

They charge the banks, etc. that rely on this stuff appropriately. If you think Mac Pros are expensive you might want to re-evaluate. Its not public but you can assume that anything that requires you to work out your software license consumption with an IBM sales consultant as step one of the pricing process is going to be expensive :D

Apple are not and will not play in that space.
