I already know there are minor differences.  But the essence works on hardware level-- no library needed.  I can boot up 68020 machine right now and run 68000 code w/o any drivers.

Its because the system, in this case AmigaOS, handles the differences these processors has. Ponder the need for these functions in exec.library for example:
GetCC()
SetSR()

In the case of the 68040 and above, even more code was needed to handle the difference and was added in form of the 68040.library to the system.
