The Amiga made a giant leap in hardware capability, then stood still as
competitors surpassed it. For example, the Apple Mac was able to improve
its hardware with minimal breakage in app compatibility, because of its
good software abstractions. Whereas Amiga apps had to work directly with
the hardware, so that hardware could not be improved without breaking
those apps.
Good applications on the Amiga did not run directly on the
hardware. The AmigaOS ran on the hardware and lots of gamers and demo-coders would exploit the hardware ignoring the OS. The OS had everything
but memory management.
