Yet, even though these alternatives existed at the start of the port
of VMS to x86-64, there was still sufficient customer demand for a
"real" VMS on x86-64.

The above should also give you a feeling for the scale of the issues
involved. And unlike your hand waving dismissal of the difficult issues,
these people have actually thought about the difficult issues and
provided answers for some of them.
