It's not just me. There's also some Zigs or Zags or something; pretty sure your list is missing several entries.
My pet theory, we can thank LSP for that, as it removed the major hurdle for any new editor project: the complexity of supporting modern programming languages and practices. Being able to offload most of that complexity to a language server (and most of the rest to tree-sitter) just about makes a new editor a viable side project.
As for motivation... I wonder how many of the new editors are a "let's rewrite it in Rust" thing?

I mean, Helix and Kakoune are written in Rust, but they are not rewrites, they have very different goals than e.g. neovim. They explore different concepts, workflows and ideas, and the choice of Rust as a language merely stems from the authors finding Rust to be a pleasant and appropriate language to explore their ideas
