Sure, Apple don't seem to care about it at the moment, but it's still technically something you can be sued over. Downloading macOS in the first place is also a violation of copyright law if you don't own either a Mac or a copy of OS X 10.7. It's also probably a violation of the Mac App Store TOS if you don't own a Mac, which I guess could lead to getting kicked out of the Apple Developer Program if they ever start cracking down on Hackintoshes.

Sierra works alright in VMware, even w/ design apps.

The showstopper for most is that you can't really use anything > a 1080p monitor w/o squinting, b/c of some peculiarity with macOS ui scaling.

I do apologise - looks like the big issues have actually been fixed since I last tried this.
