Just like some or a few stated, if OS4 disappeared, you wouldnt have a mass exodus from it to MorphOS and vice versa. I wouldnt because the hardware is overpriced and underpowered.
I feel that most of the OS4 users have other machines (mostly Windows or OSX) as their main computers, and they mostly buy/talk OS4 systems for support for the name and because of some day dreams that they'd one day actually use it instead of their mainstream system. So, my bet is that if OS4 disappears, they'd just continue using what they've actually been using until now too, and yes, still wouldn't care about MorphOS, because of the name.
Of course same applies partly to MorphOS too, but not in that extent at all, IMHO. MorphOS is almost completely bought with usage in mind and not with name worshipping. If MorphOS would disappear and OS4 would keep evolving to better than MorphOS ever was and usability value would turn around, I'd very likely go that other route then.
