Nostalgia is part of it, at least for some. But older editions of D&D are different enough they might as well be different games (different fantasy rpgs of course, but still). 5E did a remarkable job of putting all play styles under one roof, but it still lacks the openness of old-school D&D, and I guess it is not as satisfying as a miniature board game as 4E.
