An you think they simply recompiled the 68000 code for Intel Are ou

You, AGAIN, have o idea what you're talking about.

No one said that outside your delusion. What was said was that for the
vast majority of developers and the vast majority pf apps, there was no
assembly written. And there is less and less as Apple continues to
abstract the hardware from being accessed directly.

The end of kexts is coming very soon (possibly next year), for example.
Apple is moving to prevent anything from executing outside of the base
OS's permission model.
