Problem there is that you must drop all existing software.
There is a wonderfull piece of software called UAE... And guess what, it runs on x86! And guess what, it allows to run more software than any AmigaOS will ever run natively...
Next problem ?
We can't support every x86 piece of hardware.
Who says you need to support every piece of hardware ? Does the PPC version runs on every PPC version outthere ?
No: motherboard has been selected, and software is stick to it. Why would it be different for x86 ?
We would compete with Windows
Really ? Is MorphOS competing with Linux on PPC ?
Guess it doesn't... Why would it be different with x86 ?
x86 is evil
Once upon a time Steve Jobs said Apple would never use intel microprocessors... Today the x86 is faster and cheaper than any other desktop class processor... Steve Jobs decided to switch to x86. Apple has never ever sold so many Macintosh than today. Yes: maybe x86 isn't the reason... But for sure x86 has nothing to do with evil...
The primary reason we won't see MorphOS on x86 any time soon is simply demand related.
Really ?
170 million x86 computers are sold each year. That's more potential users than the Amiga ever had, even in it's golden age...
There are like what... 5 thousand Pegasos outhere ? As much Efikas ?
Do the maths...
It would take a lot of time
The sooner it is started, the sooner it is finished then... And as for the software, most NG software are already available for x86 (mplayer, emulators, SDL software, compression libs, png libs,...) and could be recompiled with some changes...
No, the reason we won't see any AmigaNG OS on x86 is because they are closed source, and leaders don't think it would be a good idea/doable and/or don't want to see it on x86...
