Right, the 68000 was well liked and used in a bunch of systems. The 65c816? It's a beefed up 6502 but it came out kind of malformed and awkward to use. It certainly has its merits though.

Yes, most people couldn't / can't make good sense of this compared to other systems, and i can see why:

However, recent emulators like Mesen-S / Mesen 2 with it's incredible debugging toolset, and sites like the recently formed SNESdev wiki from the NESdev folks, i firmly believe will change the face of SNES homebrew in the coming months / years, and once the tools and knowledge catches up (and it finally is) we will start to see some absolutely incredible work.
