Nope. The Amiga did just fine 8 hours a day, even 16 hours a day, coding and word processing and everything else. Interlace wasn't a huge issue, and the price difference between Macintosh and Amiga made it easy to justify. A simple "flicker fixer" could be added for far less than the difference in price between an Amiga and a Mac. The Mac cost $1000 more than an Amiga, which is a lot to pay to get a far less capable platform. A "flicker fixer" went for $100. Apple in the 90's was cirlcing the drain, nobody wanted an overpriced black-and-white computer except die-hard apple fans, and Apple only exists today because Microsoft bailed them out. Too bad Microsoft didn't invest in Amiga instead.
