I think a lot of nostalgia built up in that ~10 year period where it was really difficult to find a new mechanical keyboard, so the old Model M (and to a lesser extent the Apple Extended Keyboard) developed something of a cult following.

Personally I've settled on Kailh BOX White switches as pleasantly clicky without too much resistance.

My model Ms are older than me, I don't think it's nostalgia.
Considering that most people who used model Ms in the era just threw them away (I remember the days you'd find them on resale bins by the kilo), I don't know what it is.
