There's a lot of artists who write music that's inspired by chiptune or has chiptune instruments but is not pure chiptune -- they use modern production techniques, don't limit themselves to specific hardware, and often combine chiptune elements with modern instruments.
I agree that there's something special about music composed with the limitations of a platform in mind, but there's also something special about music that's not constrained by these limitations and just uses chiptune hardware as an audio production tool. They both have their place, some people will prefer one or the other, and that's fine. Making a tracker configurable like this makes it useful for both times of music.
Some examples of "unconstrained" chiptune-style artists:
