Lots of wealthy people spend more than $200,000 on their hobbies or in pursuit of personal pleasures.If a dozen more wealthy people underwrote Amiga product or software development out of nostalgia I would cheer them.If it gives Trevor pleasure to share his Amiga hobby with others then more power to him;no one is being FORCED to buy an X-1000.If you don't want X-1000 simply buy the best SAM available for the best Amiga)S experience available now.
Amiga is not,and NEVER has been a mainstream computer OS.It was at best an excellent niche OS for the video field for a decade because of the special chipset before the government mandated switch to digital TV.Amigas were number three ,well behind Windows and Macs,and Amigas were doomed by managers who took excessive salaries and had no "love for Amiga".Amigas were also an excellent game machine that Commodore failed to keep developing.
Amiga OS has already been ported to x86;it is called Amithlon.Too bad the developers and IP owner(s) apparently refuse to allow Amithlon sales and further development.
Which I believe is a reason IP laws need reformation because using the laws to prohibit widespread use of an idea just because the originator doesn't want it used is ridiculous.The laws of patent and copyrights were supposed to ensure others didn't make profits at the expense of the inventor or writer not to ensure ideas and inventions stayed buried.
