Like most closed architectures of the 80's, the Amiga was expensive to upgrade and the parent Co' slow to improve the tech.
If the computer industry had followed the C=/Amiga path, we'd still be paying $$$ for sub Ghz machines.
Hmmmmmm - "still be paying $$$ for sub Ghz machines" - back in Jan 1989 I bought my first A500 in basic configuration (7.14 mHz; 512 kB RAM, 4 channel stereo sound, 4096 colours, mouse-operatable, graphical OS with preemptive Multitasking) for 1200 DM, while the 80386-PC's in basic configuration (that just had come out) were around 6000 DM (28 mHz; 640 kB RAM, only "beep" sound in mono, only monochrome graphics, no mouse support, MS-DOS).
Given this price/performance ratio advantage of the Amiga, would you still say "we'd still be paying $$$ for sub Ghz machines", "if the computer industry had followed the C=/Amiga path"?
