Most powerful PPC that can be put in an A1200?

A far different situation than comparing it to a bone stock XP install sand emulator running Amiga software, which was the vague comparison made.

Whether it's installed by default is not the difference, the integration with the OS so the Apps appear to be native is the difference.
 
Janus-UAE on AROS is different, but looks similar. Nobody seems to care about it on Windows.

Now for your $183.71 you can buy a minimig board and play old games on it, after you invest about another $100 into external parts to make it run, then another $40 for a sandisk for storage, then another $100 for a case to put it all in. So now you have close to $500 for a new Amiga computer, that plays old Amiga games, that has no support from programming companies, but has some support from hobby computer programmers.
 
Am I loonie or do I see something wrong with this picture.

Both? If you're only just realising that the Amiga is never going to be as popular as it was in the late 80's/early 90's then maybe you are a bit loony.
 
There are probably others that haven't realised this yet, but most retro enthusiasts are well aware of how ridiculous their hobby is & we just don't care.
