When Amdahl started selling processors, the operating system was free. When IBM started to charge for it, they knew how much power an Amdahl processor had and where it fit in the pricing structure.

What stops you from using z/OS on large z/Series machine without paying for it ? You can buy license for the smallest z9BC and use the same code on 2064-2C16 bought on second-hand market. Or several machines. Or without buying any license, just pay your friendly sysprog for copy of the tapes...
