Time to get real. It's about business. Basing your product on a platform that you can't get hardware for because the parent company died kind of makes it wise to look elsewhere. Then once you've gotten there and survived awhile, and even prospered, why would you want to move back to the squallor of a ghetto? Especially if it was to be associated with a Name that spells failure and bad dreams in the past, and seems to be doing so again.
Scala invested a lot of time and money in their own OS-subservices and API stuff to support efficient and solid use on PC hardware. There's got to be a *real* good business case for them to want to risk again. If MorphOS or AOS4 seem to be going somewhere at some point Scala can re-evaluate. In the meantime, Hollywood and Mediapoint can mature without fear of getting sqwarshed.
