I don't think that you're fair to hyperion, eyetech etc...
Fair? Take a look at the trio`s awful past, they have been praised and supported throughout the lies, cheating, scaming etc but it`s all right. Lets all turn a blind eye and everything will be alright.
But nothing is alright, OS4 is going nowhere because the "true supporters" supported stupid companies and their stupid 80s ideas. To make matters worse the "true supporters" trashed all attempts what would push the Amiga out of closed hardware shell in to the real world.
