I still distinctly remember lusting after the 68040 (and later 68060) back in the day. Even though I fully understand that technology has moved on and they're completely obsolete in terms of performance, I still feel they're really high end stuff. Probably in part because I never had either one myself.
Back on topic, I guess that part of the reason there's so few 3D games with textures for the Amiga is probably that most of that stuff happened after the Amiga was basically 'dead' in the market and 3D games are quite difficult to get right - making them less likely for "homebrew".
Of course, C2P issues and low memory bandwidth also play a big part here. Making an Amiga with native graphics do GBA games is going to be an uphill battle in my opinion, just for that reason alone.
In short, I don't think it's actually the 68040 that's the problem here.
