The C64 is rather more impressive in this domain of new hardware: cases, motherboards, SIDs, Ethernet and (S)NES Classic/Mini adapters, keycaps; but most of all new software, by the truck load: http://csdb.dk

The only thing that requires 16-bit is 3D and not much is happening in the Amiga retro scene on that front.

Looking at the 2020 Amiga and C64 releases on pouet.net I'd say both systems are very much alive.

Yep, based on Pouet's statistics, the C64 scene has overtaken even the PC (Windows) scene last year [1]. Huge activity there, even compared to the "golden years" of the scene [2]
