The 8086 is from the late 70s. The x86 architecture would still take 10 more years to start dominating market. Recent processors don't differ too much in terms of instructions, so these processors are basically just simplified versions of we currently have, which understandably doesn't peak too much interest. Therefore the early 80s still being ripe with other architectures is more attractive. I wonder, now that the market is slowly shifting to arm and RISCv architectures, we might see a similar trend 30 years from now, with people starting to procure x86 chips with similar interest.
