I've been wondering about this as well. I would

microcontrollers that cost would be supreme. Did the 6800 family get
cheaper than the 6502 at some point? After all saving a dollar a unit

Maybe it's more the case that the 68HC11 comes in an almost bewildering
number of variations--somewhere around 100. Price is somewhere around
$1.75-3.00 each in 1000 unit lots.
