I see a couple of pros and cons.
It takes time to move to a new platform. Look at how hard it is to get drivers for existing systems, even 68k. As good as they are at our specific platform, our OS guys are slow compared to Linux, BSD or even Haiku teams.
It's not easy to emulate PPC yet, PPC isn't quite that outdated but it's getting there, so that software would probably be a loss unless it is recompiled. Many of these are either ports already or still actively developed, so it might not be terrible. Many users never moved to PPC, so it doesn't harm 100% of the userbase.
That said...
When you see that the platform is essentially dead, you've got to move asap or get caught without hardware available. PPC has been done for since Apple moved to x86 whether we want to admit it or not.
Personally I'm tired of scrounging for old hardware and always being a decade or more behind the performance curve just because I like a certain OS.
Any current platform would be a plus.
