Ok, where do you get your information? MorphOS is not hosted on anything. The Quark microkernel is as essential to it's operation as ExecSG is to AOS4. You seem to be implying that the ABox is an OS on it's own. This is a mistake and shows a failure to understand how MorphOS works. But it is understandable how one could think that. While, yes, in theory someone could turn the ABox into a 100% native OS with some work, then you'd loose 90% of it's potency.
Properly, the ABox is not akin to AROS running on Linux, nor Amithlon, but another beast altogether. The closest in this field is Bernie's stillborn Umilator, but even then that comparison is tenuous at best. The closest comparisons would be to OS/2 or Mac OS X and how they handled legacy applications (Win16/DOS for OS/2 and MacOS for Mac OS X) but that's also not completely accurate due to the nature of the AmigaOS itself.
