Why not take this a step farther and ask "Why Cp/m"? Why are there
still billyuns and billyuns of people out there who insist it is an
operating system? For god's sake, why does everybody want to keep the
z80 around for another umpteen years?

Don't give me that garbage that it would be too costly to upgrade a
business to a 16-bit system, for the new system running a real OS (read
Unix) would pay for itself quite quickly in being far faster and more
usable.

How many people out there actually realize what the origins of cp/m are?
