Sure, and I used my Amiga until well after CBM died; I didn't switch to a Windows PC until after Windows 95 came out (and then switched to Linux soon after). But, it's hard to argue that the smaller application ecosystem didn't hurt it. There were good applications for most tasks, but the big names were absent, and businesses rarely chose Amiga for that reason (and a few other reasons).

I agree about that - didn't mean to imply otherwise. Though it also quickly got expensive (I'd argue that for a while in the mid 80's it was cheap as a PC alternative - my dads PC was slower than my Amiga 500, had no graphics abilities, had less memory - it's two benefits were a 20MB harddrive and compatibility with PC apps; for that he paid about a $3000 premium).

In fact, part of the point I didn't put across very clearly is that things like Aminet demonstrates how important that ecosystem is. Amiga would have become useless to most users far earlier if we didn't have incredibly well curated sets of applications, and amazing dedication to maintenance (e.g. even today people are releasing their own bug-fixed versions of system libraries and the like) - it took a lot of effort to try to compensate, and it still wasn't enough.
