many musicians use a stack - I sure do. It's a bunch of tools I somehow make work together.
Unless we can track down interviews with the people, I think all we have are educated guesses. It is true to say however, that these days, Amigas sell for thousands of dollars (such as https://ebay.com/itm/224602338650) because modern musicians want to use vintage tracker software in music production.
People are still putting out hardware on it. Here's something from 2020 https://cdm.link/2020/08/amiga-just-got-a-new-open-8-bit-har...
Could those be samples? Sure, but it's much easier to use the real thing than try to record those modulations.
Maybe they also used a tracker on that song.
