I agree with you. By early 90s CBM definitely lost its competitive edge, and none would be impressed (other than amiga users) with A1200/4000/4000T (16.7 million palette - those machines should have had 24 bit build in with all colors available to user, not just 256, but flicker fixer build in for vga monitors - just like a3000, price at least same or close to a PC compatible ) and SCSI-2 at least not slower ide.
By comparisson, paid $2000 for 386-dx40 with dot matrix printer, monitor, added Sound Blaster 16 ISA card cost $300 back then but still, who would be convinced to buy an amiga 4000? (more than $2300)
By the way anyone that thinks amigas are cheap should look at 68060s and PPC (also issue of hardware availability). :-o
Today, same challenge exists. How to make a low cost computer. The challenge to Acube/Hyperion is to find a partner, who would be willing to mass produce the next generation amiga, one with office suite, graphics package, 99% accurate emulation of classic amiga software with browser (firefox port would be nice) - motherboard price of $400. User can add cheap hardware or buy complete pre-built system for $600-700.
