The first Rosetta was based on licensed technology, used at a time when Apple was still pinching pennies.
It made financial sense to stop paying the licensing fee to include it in each new version of the OS as quickly as possible.
There is no financial incentive to remove the current version of Rosetta, since it was developed in-house.
Thanks didn’t know that.
It was interesting tech, licensed by Silicon Graphics, Apple, IBM, and Sun. IBM ended up buying out the company that brought it to market.
