Because it allows us to still be using Commodores and
hopefully repair any
future problems with open-source, current technology. It's not merely a
modern C64 anyway; it has a '816 core, SDRAM controller, SVGA output and
she's even talking Ethernet in the spec.
The day when sourcing a C64 becomes difficult is the day when finding VGA
monitors will be equally difficult. Besides, the way most C64 people use their
C64s is very dependent on all manners of hardware "features" which would make
any simulation quite a difficult task to accomplish.
OTOH, if you regard it as a new 65816 computer (which may happen to be C64
compatible in some ways), it doesn't seem to bad.
