It is nothing but stupid to have "custom" hardware if there are no benefits.

The reason Amigas had custom hardware in the first place was that there were no good off the shelf parts available, now there are. Besides an ATI chip for example is nothing but custom hardware, specifically designed to offer good graphics performance. It's just on a standard AGP board so it can be connected to many different motherboards.

Many Classic Amiga users now have upgraded to using PCI slots anyway, so the AGA or whatever there originally was isn't used any longer.
