You may want to re-read a MorphOS team member's statements:

Yes, ACube's medium-term or long-term goal was always to sell mainly boards for industrial use, with the number of boards sold with OS4 representing as small a part as possible. Somehow this
didn't work out for ACube.

This might have been the main reason back then. If you want to know for sure, you should ask your contacts within the MorphOS team :-)
