Huh.  I guess I hadn't seen a trend of that.  I'm still fully into 70s
micros and a lot of them were monochrome.

I was about to go looking for my IBM 8503 mono PS/2 VGA monitor to use
with the recently-published Raspberry Pi Pico Mac 128K emulator.  I
figure it will be a good combo (for a color VGA display, the Pico just
ties the R, G, and B pins together, so it can drive a mono VGA monitor
just as well.

As for TRS-80 hardware not being as popular lately, I definitely have
most of what I'd ever want that's Z-80 based (I even have at least one
Model 1 and Model 4 in excess of needs), so I'd probably only consider
adding an m68k model if anything.
