dont forget the backwards compatability with big-endian based data structures
all the old amigaos software had to access structures direct, in big-endian format, so this would need to be byte swapped in any emulation - WAAaaaaaaaaay too messy
i wouldnt like amigaos to be on the x86

it wouldnt make it any more popular anyway

Funny, it wasn't too messy for Amithlon.  If and when someone adds in seamless emulation into AROS, I think you would be greatly suprised on how fast it still can be for the end user.   Although I'm not too sure why plain old UAE isn't good enough to begin with for any OS.

you forget about the fact that 68k apps and ppc apps are ment to run together like on older ppc powered amigas
users want some of the same apps
