The situation with the Kickstart and Workbench is of course not ideal, but it's hardly cost prohibitive. The license from Cloanto is, what, 10 euros? That is essentially nothing compared to other costs involved in tinkering with retro hardware.

There are already open source options (AROS) which could be brought up to 100% compatibility if this was a real problem, but it just isn't.
