But there ARE computers that are called "Amiga" and have been expanded with an accelerator with an PowerPC chip onboard. I have one of them.
Why doesn't that argument mean that x86 is fine too? I had a bridge board in my A2000.
And I had a Vortex ATOnce286 classic in my A500 that ran MS-DOS and Windows286 in monochrome.

I do have a soft spot for PPC, and I dislike x86 a great deal despite using it daily (or perhaps because of...) but I think a lot of the opposition to x86 in the Amiga camp(s), including much of my own, is emotional rather than based on anything rational.
Certainly correct today. But back when the decision for PPC was made, the PPC outperformed the CPUs used in IBM compatibles and it looked like Intel would not be able to catch up.
