MorphOS does not need to retain compatibility.
Of course it doesn't. It didn't "need" to implement it in the beginning either.
If you haven't noticed, there are lots of really small (as in "userbase") X86 operating systems done from (relatively) "clean table, at least MenuetOS and SkyOS come to my mind immediately, yet I don't think they are THAT popular. And I wonder what would have made this "68k-incompatible" MorphOS on (say) X86 any more popular?

Whatever chip MorphOS runs on, it should be one where MorphOS can become more than an Amiga Workbench clone that runs applications which stopped being compiled 10 years ago.
Are you trying to claim that supporting (only) PPC somehow makes it impossible for MorphOS to extend beyond / get rid of old Amiga legacy? Because that's what it definitely sounds like. As I see it, it's two different issues.
