The reason you don't see it is that the part number

series ucontrollers were 6502 cored as are a lot of Rockwell modem
chips. Every BSB D2MAC receiver had two 6502 chips, one in the CAM
badged GEC, Sharp TVs and Videos used them.
...and the 68HC11 and its kin are still in use in modern designs. While
there undoubetdly (due to the sheer volume of CBM, and Apple systems) far
more applications of 6502s in PC's, the 6800-based embedded applications
far outnumer 6502-based ones. My point was that on the basis of
instruction set alone, one would have expected the reverse to be true.
