Is FireTOS just designed to get things going in these early days ? Using the 68060 emulation to allow older stuff to run.
First, FireTOS is Didier's project.His first goal was to run the TOS 4.04 on the ColdFire evaluation boards, whose hardware is in no way related to Atari machines. He succeeded incredibly well, and also improved the TOS with great functionalities.
Since the FireBee is both similar to ColdFire evaluation boards and Atari machines, Didier ported FireTOS to it.
Regarding to the FireBee, FireTOS is just another OS, like EmuTOS, uClinux, Linux or future ones.
