IMO Hyperion would be best custodians - probably Amiga OS is the most valuable IP, and they would be the best guys to continue development of it.

Even in a parallel universe where the Amiga name wasn't tarnished by now, it would make no sense for Apple to acquire it. Why would they develop another product that would be in direct competition with the products they already have? The only reason I could understand would be that they wanted to bury it forever, like others here have suggested.
Theology is just a debate over who to frame for creating reality.
