    Software for MorphOS on PPC is written by MorphOS software developers, not by "PPC software developers". Likewise, software for MorphOS on MIPS wouldn't be written by "MIPS software developers". After all, almost no application or game developer is writing in Assembly language anymore.

    IBM POWER is usermode-compatible with the CPUs MorphOS currently runs on, so existing MorphOS binaries would work without change.
