A Hackintosh is different from an iOS jailbreak.

An iOS jailbreak is trying to use an Apple device like a Linux device, with access to the filesystem and private APIs.

A Hackintosh is more like emulating the APIs (and an actual Apple serial number, which I guess they use to gate access to iCloud and iMessage) required to boot and run macOS on an Intel PC.
