Probably just jealous that Apple had decent management that didn't throw away its performance lead.
"When the Amiga came out, everyone [at Apple] was scared as hell." (quote from former Apple exec Jean-Louis Gassée, Amazing Computing, Nov. 1996)
Apple was a big bunch of haters on anything Amiga and told big fat lies about their own machine or the future machines that were right around the corner that would blow away the Amiga. (If around the corner was six years than they were not lying).
On an Amiga had a Motorola 68000 chip just like the Mac, but the emulator on my 1 mhz 68000 would out preform System on a 2 mhz 68000 family chip.
Did you mean 7 MHz 68000?
