I don't see how Cloanto could be a problem for icomp but I probably lack a deeper understanding of the arrangements Hyperion and icomp have made. I would assume that there is more money to be made in the C=64 market because there are now quite a few new options for 68k accelerators and peripherals. Also there is now a cheap source of A1200 connectors available which used to be a solid foundation for an almost-monopoly in this market.
If the statement is true at all, I also wonder whether sourcing of legit 040s and 060s for the rumoured ACA1260 has turned out to be a high economic risk.
