If 'Z80 based' is to mean 'Z80 only' it rules out the vast majority of
modern designs.  For designers attractiveness lies is the possibility
of doing *more* than what was done 40 years ago.  If what's offered now
not only gives better performance but is also designed to be backward
compatible, who wouldn't be interested?  Let's not forget the Z80 itself
was a new processor built upon an old design and became popular for
that reason.
