New computer chips are on the horizon. AmigaOS and/or MorphOS should adopt such new technologies quickly.
The "Amiga hardware" concept is long dead, even if some distribution policies aren't adapted to reality.
AmigaOS cannot, as in "it's not allowed to", adopt new technologies, unless a "licensed" hardware vendor appears and applies for a bundling/dongling/blahblah license for the hardware in question.
Valid technical and commercial issues can only be considered second hand, after the licensing requirement is fulfilled (which it will never be, not by anybody significant).
Regarding MorphOS, to me it seems to be marketed in an Apple-ish/Mac-ish way, i.e. they have their own hardware and hardware development, and this is what likely will be the main money maker. The OS looks like "just a bonus" (nothing derogatory implied) so to speak, among the other compatible OSes.
Amiga revolutionized computing in 1985, Amiga should do it again using chip technologies that are measured in THz and in real time computing speeds.
The Amiga is dead. It felt sad when that fact was established in the early nineties. Today, it's a good thing IMO. Now I think it's important to leave as many doors open as possible to allow AmigaOS to take advantage of hardware development "elsewhere". The companies making AmigaOS and selling AmigaOS IP licenses, respectively, does not have any hardware of their own, nor any control over development etc. of third party hardware.
Get porting, let others do drivers too if they wish, and forget about the
"Amiga hardware" silliness!
