People still make them. Because, you know, "everyone can use them" and they are "simple". In reality, only software developers are able to do anything with such a crap DSL and it takes a lot more effort and workarounds to get anything done vs a sane programming language.

Even if only the developers can use a DSL, that doesn't not mean DSLs don't have a place as a solution and that a generic programming language is always preferable.

In complex enough domains DSLs can be key to tackle that complexity and they can take many forms.
