On the other hand, as much as I have seen and heard that speech, I come to think that sadly many Amiga resellers/developers/hardware_designers (but not all), want to milk the cow at exorbitant prices and lousy products, with the old tale of economy of scale, niche markets, or whatever.
This is an attitude that does not encourage the preservation of the Amiga as a viable commercial market at all.
They even make investments on unreasonably dumb bounties that after sometime they regret that they have supported, instead of focusing what the community, and finally, what that market needs.
Look, on the contrary, how succesfull some very few Amiga resellers/developers/hardware_designers have been, that they felt humble enough, and took the time to analyse the community´s needs and have provided viable solutions. The Amiga user market has indeed responded by buying from them leaving many of their products literally out of stock.
It is not that Amiga users are cheap. As an example, all Amiga users I have personally contacted so far this year, have at least spent 200 US$ in Amiga accesories this year, despite there are not many available, and even some like me, have spent well over 800 US$. But then most of the time I, like many others find difficult, if not impossible, to get a particular Amiga item, despite the money that we have already stashed for that purpose.
So sanity and cooperation have to work both ways
