They can choose to follow the law or to fight the claim in court. Or do nothing and get sued to oblivion. They have choices.

The image was removed from Docker Hub, but the GitHub repository which contains the script to build the Docker image is untouched.
Which is fair. OS X isn't open source so you can't just go and distribute binaries of it without Apple's permission. The Github repo probably requires you to bring your own binaries (presumably obtained from Apple in their approved way). So, that's perfectly fine. You can build and use the docker image for your own personal use. That's fair use and I doubt Apple would object to that. You just can't distribute the ima…

Why? They transition away from x86 anyway

Buy a mac. It comes with the OS. Otherwise, talk to Apple but they probably don't do direct sales of their OS. That might be inconvenient for you but that doesn't change the legal situation that you need a license to distribute binaries that belong to them.
Legally speaking, they don't own the binaries but just have a temporary monopoly.
