MP is not essential (not having memory protection is
common in an embedded world) but it helps making better software.



MP is essential for having a secure general purpose OS though.
You could emulate MP with forcing everything to run in a virtual machine where every memory access is bound checked and all hardware access goes through protected layers. But such a thing is IMO not compatible with the Amiga philosophy of having a very low OS overhead.
