Amiga software regardless of the OS will always be limited by the hardware. You know that when you start a 30 year old machine.

An API isn't a legal minefield; it's the trademarks and IP that are the Amiga issues. You're the one with the mysterious goals, so I'm assuming you perceive this risk as negative? And following from that, you're saying legacy is a negative thing?
Again, what is it that you're looking for? It sounds like you want a modern OS on modern hardware, yet still running it on Amiga hardware. Why would this hypothetical modern OS and software not be limited by being made to run on the very same hardware that limits Amiga software?
