Either way, SPARC and the entire family seem to be entirely dead in the grand scheme of things. I don't know why anyone would develop for this platform.

Solaris and Illumos are available on x86

But illumos doesn't run on sparc... granted I don't have the hardware, but if I did, it would be nice if I could use illumos.

Tribblix does, which is based on illumos - I have a V210 I installed it on, not too long ago...

Nope.

Oracle SPARC S7, T8, and Fujitsu SPARC M12 still supported

supported sure but its an ancient dying platform. sparc was discontinued almost 10 years ago.

Oracle generated $3b in revenue from these systems last year.
