You are missing the option that made the most sense of all. One I have been asking Apple to do for over 15 years, design and market an Apple brand ATX compatible motherboard. If Apple would only market their own ATX motherboard they would still make money on the hardware and most likely the software as well, and we would be able to use the ATX cases, cards, CPUs, and hard drives of our choice, as long as they worked with OS X. Unfortunately, the time to do this was when Apple controlled all of their motherboards. Now that Intel is involved, there just may not be as much money in it. I still think its a good idea though.
