Mac made the switches as a living vibrant corporation, there hasn't been a living company behind the Amiga in over a decade. Ideally the transitions would have taken place slowly in the 90's
1) move to PowerPC architecture, provide a walled garden for Motorola users software to run.
2) upgrades to PPC, walled garden breaks, nobody notices because current software is better
3) New OS with classic emulator, free of memory management, etc problems. Give this a couple years for software to catch up.
4) Move to Intel hardware with compatibility layer...
Each step takes time, waiting for software to catch up. Amiga is faced with the daunting task a new OS whilst "building a bridge to the 20th Century."
My professional computer is an Intel Mac, I have no software that's over two years old. Life goes on.
Unless you are willing to have Classic Amiga handled by a UAE port you can't have a modern OS.
