The performance doesn't help you when the applications are missing. You will never be able to create a system which could be used as an alternative to modern PCs. So why bother? Most Amiga fans realized that over the years, and prefer to have fun with their classic hardware.

Why has Aros failed?
Aros failed as NG platform based on X86 hardware. It is still living even if in a way the original creators did not expect
Yes the main problem is lack of modern software (both for developers and users). People use a desktop to do something, not just moving around windows. If software and drivers lack and you can do the same on another platform but easier people will use that platform. And to run old software and games you do not need a supermodern desktop with 64bit and SMP.
