Of course we can love Macs and Amigas, the competition ended long ago.  The Amiga is a great fun computer, something to tinker with.  The Mac is a productivity machine.  They each have their place.

As for Sam, let's see, over priced, proprietary chips. kinda buggy, yep it's an Amiga....

I believe the sales/production figures are estimated to be around 1300 copies of AmigaDos 4.1, almost all of which are Sam boards.  Hyperion aren't a publicly traded company nor are Acube, so you sort of have to calculate using their hints and some well place leaks.  I wouldn't be surprised to see final totals around 2K.

Given that new Amiga sales have been zero for a decade and a half, this is a significant number, enough to prove that Amiga still can exist as a hobbyist computer.
