I can speak only for myself here, but the experience of running an OS-friendly application directly on MorphOS is very different from the one running it on AmigaOS that in turn runs inside E-UAE on MorphOS. From those jPV mentioned, Magellan2, CubicIDE and AmiSSL wouldn't even make sense running them inside encapsulated emulation.
