It kinda did, though.

The Amiga with its revolutionary coprocessors (Denise, Agnus, Paula) was a game changer.

However, id Software taught the world that the important part of the software revolution was not in these coprocessors but in fast 3D code. And the Amiga architecture was simply not ready to face that challenge.

Now to be fair, I don't think DOOM killed the Amiga, but I am reasonably confident Windows 95 did.
