The core appeal of those 1980s "console-computers" could still be relevant today: Something you can start coding on as soon as you switch it on and run all software* on it without worrying about hardware or OS compatibility.

Does no one else realize that enough to make a modern product like that?

* (made for that platform)

There's no such Amiga. You had to boot it up to the Workbench GUI to load any programming environment. (Ok, you could also start something from an AmigaDOS prompt too, but that's not how most people used the system.)
