Rather built by the Frieden brothers and licensed to Hyperion
There was even a declaratory action about this.

...and on WinUAE/FS-UAE emulating the same.
Don't mention the ROMS ;)

iMac "all-in-ones" are not supported at all.
..but some eMacs are.

Hyperion ported Freespace from Windows to AmigaOS, and they ported Shogo from Windows to Linux, MacOS and AmigaOS.

Do you have some benchmark results for MorphOS vs. OS4 on Sam460? (You know, comparing them on Pegasos II is unfair towards OS4 because <put idiotic reason here>.)
Actually I don't, just anecdotal from long before release, and not as comprehensive a statement as 'in all areas' :)

AmiKit is more like a pre-configured software package as it lacks the Amiga Kickstart ROM and OS. So it is advised to use AmiKit in conjunction with Amiga Forever, complementing each other.
Amikit includes the emulator (WinUAE) but not the roms or OS, hence the recommendation.
