Hmmm. I remember getting turned into hamburger meat. Oh, and eating too many Monolith burgers too. *looks around for his dust covered A500* I might just go play it again:)
No. PPC is the non-official future (and current) path for the "Classic Amiga". Amiga Inc. have not announced the processor for the next generation Amiga but the PowerPC doesn't really fit the description (PPC isn't really that unknown).
I think you are getting confused here. Firstly, the processor you mean is called the PowerPC 750. And it is made by both IBM and Motorola. Apple only uses the processor in their computers. Be's problem is with Apple refusing to give information about other parts of their computers, not the processor itself (which Apple doesn't make, nor own). It could also be true that Be does not want to support their OS on a hostile platform (Apple does not want Be on their hardware so they may continually change little things to introduce incompatibilities).
If a company wants to run their OS on a computer based on the PPC, it has nothing to do with Apple unless they also want their OS to run on the Macintosh.
