Can you come up with a dollar-value case as to how much profit they gaind by paying developers to NOT make it work on the newer G4s?
Well, you yourself just said above that they can.... Apple just chose not to make it obviously possible. And yes, there is a possible reason - being able to EOL OS9 a few months earlier, saving on support costs (plus any extra savings from not taking the QA time to ensure that OS9 worked).
