Yeah. You can buy OSX without owning a Mac. I'm running OSX right now on my HP Probook.

My point is that losing the ability to test with Safari puts me at more risk with my Mac users. That's a shame. Apple, I'm not buying a Mac just to test my website. Your Machiavellian nonsense hurts your customers in the long run. But then, you've never really cared about that, have you?
Safari is Webkit based. You don't have to test your site on Safari, if another webkit browser renders it fine. For instance, Chrome is also webkit based, so will render webpages the same as Safari.
