You'll get many affirmative answers to this.
My own example is of a 19 year old in San Francisco who is building a
computer based on a mechanical relay-based controller of an old elevator.
He was all set to demonstrate it at the VCF but a day before he blew out
his "RAM" (a bunch of SCRs) due to a fatal flaw and it became useless.
Homebrewing is still going on. Its just not as prevalent any more because
each year the art dies a little more. I'm hoping to help revive it with
