"Hyperion Entertainment VOF is pleased to announce the immediate availability for download for registered customers of another service update of Amiga OS 4.0 which addresses some outstanding issues and introduces substantial new functionality." There's a new kernel, better POSIX support, a new Python port, newer USB stack, and more. By the way, the promised hardware still has not arrived.

This is correct. Apple licensed the OS to vendors they believed would enter the server market instead of the desktop market. When it was clear that the vendors were cannibalizing the desktop market and threatening to broadly diversify the hardware standards, Apple pulled the plug.

Wasn't it the other way round with Apple? They had trouble after they opened their platform to other hardware vendors, clones on the PPC platform cost Apple sales. They got back on track pretty much after killing the clones and locking their OS to their own and only their own hardware.
