The long version is https://www.talospace.com/2020/01/another-amiga-you-dont-wan... but the tl;dr version is that the Amiga diehards who would buy this still want to use Amiga as their daily drivers, yet these are CPUs that a 15-year-old-plus Power Mac would mop the floor with. It's just handing their detractors another stick for a fresh beating. As a strictly retrocomputing solution that wouldn't be a problem, but that's not how these newer Amigas are positioned and by playing into the "Power is dead/underpowered" trope they're bad for the community as a whole.
