The OS is a component of the whole product by Apple’s own reporting and marketing material. If you bought a Macbook directly from Apple and it came without MacOS preinstalled, would you consider that a fulfilled transaction?
If including it with a paid product has a cost for the manufacturer, then you did pay for it as a part of the price of the product which you did pay for.
The entire forum has already proved the point that you’re wrong. You’re incapable of understanding that you lost. An economics teacher might be able to get it into your head.
I don’t see how cars and engines have anything to do with the fact that macOS is free.
And, yeah, if it’s not listed on a receipt as something I paid for, you can’t argue that I paid for it. Or that anyone did. That’s absurd.

None of this means that macOS costs money. You’re spinning a pretty crazy fantasy here to try to disapprove the fact that macOS is free.
“It costs money because something else costs money!” is a nonsense absurd argument

That’s a guess, not evidence of your claim.
Go take an economics class
Why should it be my job to prove your point? Your failure is your own.

Of course, nobody proved that was wrong. Because no one provided any evidence.
lol
“the official license isn’t evidence, and I’m a clown”
Nowhere in the license does it say that macOS cost money.
So, no, it’s not evidence of what you claim.
