Yes, the tune changed after Apple stopped producing PPC-based Macs. Interestingly, Adam "ACK" Kowalczyk (back then OS4 team member) said in 2006/2007 that missing or lacking documentation wasn't the reason for the decision against porting OS4 to Mac, but the non-availability as new good was. Two years later, the Friedens, Jörg Strohmayer and Costel "Cyborg" Mincea still preached the old reasoning that documentation would be needed.
