Partly they failed to get volume is because every single workstation manufacture dropped them because they were clearly doing very badly. Sun was a big costumer pushing them to make aggressive new chips and they were so disappointed with Motorola that they developed SPARC and released their first SPARC machine at the same time as he 68030 and most costumers preferred the SPARC unless they had software comparability issues. Apple Mac did get a fair amount of volume to. And there were many other uses as well. Sure it wasn't the wealth that Intel had, but they were hardly struggling. They clearly sold enough chips to pay a design team.
