Apple is not a software company, it's an electronic appliance company, like Samsung.
Of course, apple won't go after individuals who violate this provision. But is a cloud vendor or a CI vendor tried to pull that off, Apple would smash them.

The only concern is the terms of the EULA so that's why the earlier poster says "for casual development"
There are a lot of guides online, including "one command" shell/powershell scripts that will automatically pull down the right files for you, and use the vmware/virtualbox api to create the vm automatically, and patch the bootloader to get Catalina or Big Sur loading, etc - if past experience is any indication, people probably already have Monterey beta loading fine already.
again, it's not a matter of "how" it's whether you (or Apple lawyers) care about the EULA.

Believe me now is so damn easy that it's funny. Now you have a lot of tools to load kexts and configurations. In the old days we loaded kexts manually:)
I built an 11th-gen Rocket Lake 128GB Hackintosh with Thunderbolt Display support+2 LED Cinema Display recently and it's been great. Thunderbolt 3 support on a Hackintosh has been nice. Just hoping for Thunderbolt 4/Maple Ridge drivers/11th-gen iGPU drivers if ever.
In general, there's a pretty good second hand market for macminis, and if you shop around you can probably get something usable for under $350 shipped.
