Well, if you assume they spent 7 or so years on improving it, then yea, its ”terrible” but I think its more about redesigning it with new parts that are actually available and/or not hyperinflated in price due to chip shortages, covid and what not.
IMO spending any time on designing new PPC Amiga hardware would be better spent on porting Amiga OS4.x to raspberry pi ;-)
