Another thing showing contemporary "popularity" of those early processors is surveys at the homebrew computer clubs. One I came across from Feb 1977 (pre Apple-2 release) had 182 responders.
a problem with self-selcting samples is that they tend to be biased towards emotions rather than market share.
On the other hand, has the Z80 or 8080 ever had a song written about it?? See song sample entry #4 "Add With Carry" here (The Stop Bits, and of course the "6502 song"): https://thestopbits.bandcamp.com/album/return-from-interrupt
Well, no but on Futurama, once they showed that Bender's processor was 6502
