This isn't a Raspberry Pi powered Amiga. (Which is a thing, see PiStorm: https://github.com/captain-amygdala/pistorm)

This is just a Raspberry Pi running an emulator. Any computer could do this.

Yeah. I think he could at least have put the Raspberry Pi inside an Amiga case. There are recent aftermarket Amiga cases with added mounting holes for a Raspberry Pi or MiST FPGA board.

The current PiStorm supports only M68000-based machines. I've seen that there is a Amiga 1200 version in the works that uses a Compute Module 4 (... which I am personally looking very much forward to).

This is about a small modern computer running an emulator for an old computer (Amiga). In order to run it, you need to purchase the ROM files.

Technically this is true, however UAE, one of the most popular Amiga emulators comes with a free replacement ROM from the AROS project, which although not fully compatible can run some games.
