I remember when MTBs were first becoming mainstream. A lot of people liked them due to the upright riding position but more importantly for those people was the fact that MTBs could handle broken pavement and/or potholes a lot better/easier than a road bike could.
What it all boils down to is different strokes for different folks. The market for old department store bikes might be quite high in one area and non existent in another nearby area. Ditto for any other type of bicycle.
