People certainly had VGA monitors back then!

The problem is not VGA 31 kHz modes, but old 15 kHz ones.

Yes, I had one on my A3000 (which has a deinterlacer / scan doubler built in, so the old modes weren't a problem.)

Most Amiga modes are 15 khz. The average person with an A500 or A1200 would have a 1084S and get zero value out of the new modes.
