Apple can do it because they build all their own stuff and charge three times as much for it.
Also the AVB specifications, which is actually now officially called TSN (time sensitive networking), still, after more than 11 years, is not officially finalized.

I think it’s not that difficult. I’ll explain why. I have an Avid S3 and it is also AVB inteface. While trying to lower the costs of a home studio I bulit a hackintosh. It is an Asus z370 Prime A motherboard, intel processor and gygabyte thunderbolt card. Thunderbolt is important for AVB on the Mac os side because only macs with thunderbolt support AVB. And guess what? AVB on S3 works like a charm. Just like that. So, no special hardware. Just plain old pc hardware with mac os on it.
So, it’s not much of a hardware issue but a software one. And I guess it’s a proprietary deal between Apple and AVB creators...
