In my humble opinion, the home computer market fragmented into business machines (Amstrad's PCW and PC ranges) and gaming. Acorn and Sinclair [bought by Amstrad] failed to come up with the next generation of home computers.
We now have the Raspberry Pi to fill the "home computer" niche but it's a very different proposition to the home computer of the 1980's.
