@BrianHoskins Your interpretation of my comment is correct and well said.

I didn't really expect much from Hyperion at all. Sure, there were primarily 2 AmigaOS 3.1.4 developers who weren't getting paid but they had to waste time creating a new GUI for some prefs to use GadTools instead of Reaction which could have been used from AmigaOS 4. The intuition.library was already being upgraded which would have made the work easier. Instead, AmigaOS 3.1.4 moved backward from AmigaOS 3.5+ instead of having a standard scalable and font sensitive Reaction GUI. The extra wasted work is reminiscent of the wasted work of developers trying to support AmigaOS 3 and AmigaOS 4 (NetSurf developers for example). I'm not blaming the developers who did a miraculous amount of work given the situation. There is no excuse for Hyperion who were unprofessional in their support of AmigaOS 3.1.4 while taking more out of the project than they put in.

Thomas explained it yet that 3.1.4 was a bugfix mainly and they had sources ready they wanted to integrate. Because of that it was never planned to be updated to 4.X (if that would be permitted at all)
