You might be surprised.

E.g.

https://rc2014.co.uk/ (selling strongly, I believe)

https://www.specnext.com/ (selling umpteen thousands, 2nd kickstarter
round sold out long ago)

https://www.worldofsam.org/products/zx-uno (less well marketed, but
also doing very well)

I'm not really into the American machines (Commodore, MSX, etc.) but
they too have modern clones that are selling well. I do have one of
these:

This isn't _really_ an 8-bit but it acts like one. I have a PCB and
hope to build one up.

Comparable machines:

So, actually, considering how obsolete the tech is, the 8-bit world is
in pretty good shape!
