1. Recapitulation of our childhood is particularly strong in my generation. For example, even after the Transformers movies, we obviously thought it wasn't enough like our memories, so we made Bumblebee.
2. Software for some 80s systems is ubiquitous.
3. Sound blaster hell/IRQ hell is a real thing and DOS is frustrating more than fun.

5. Since Windows 2000 modern computers run the same software, so your retro is limited to beige boxes with flaky capacitors.
6. Non-wintel 90s+ computers are interesting and are indeed becoming a focus of retro computing. Power PC Macintosh, Acorn, BeBoxes, NeXT, SGI, even HP and DEC RISC computers are finding enthusiasm.
