That's an easy one.....MULTISYNC!

Most people (at least here in the US) can no longer find multisync capable monitors so the AMIGA can only be used in productivity mode (31khz).  Without a multisync, you cannot use many of the older AMIGA applications.  For some reason, alot of people don't consider graphics cards or scan doublers, either for money or compatability reasons.

Couldn't people just use the 1084 series of monitors?  Also what about the old NEC 3D?

The old 1084 series had a HORRIBLE flicker at higher (interlaced) resolutions.  Yes, it is an option but no one (back then) would keep it if they could upgrade.  The old NEC 3D is an option but they can be hard to find, depending on where you live.
