I believe OS-9 68K found a lot of industrial use, it was a bit pricey in hardware and software for home/hobby users. But many hobbyists and business people familiar with SS-50 and OS-9 6809 (and Flex), found their way to OS-9. And i think there was an OS-9 flavor for the Tandy Color Computer (6809) line.
I have OS-9 for the Tandy Color Computer:

One of these days, I'll get around to trying it, although I should probably go with NitrOS-9.
I have always admired how the CoCo, with the 6809 & OS-9, ended up with one of the most powerful operating systems among the other affordable home computers. I'm not sure what those user accomplished with it, that would be interesting to hear about if someone wanted to start a thread on that.
