It would have it's advantages, but the current situation is really no different to Apple and their MacOSX, which only works on Macs. It has been hacked to run on non Apple PCs, just as AmigaOS4 has been hacked to run on Macs. And the 68k versions of AmigaOS were never ported to other systems, so Hyperion are probably just continuing this.
