Strange list indeed. But that's the problem with listings like that, not every GPU is sold for gaming.

Whether it's to give a system more display outputs to drive more monitors or for a simple HTPC, to name a couple of examples, some of those old cards have a real purpose to some people, and since neither Nvidia nor AMD make these kind of low end GPUs anymore, they'll keep selling until they're no longer made.

While I get that too, I would have expected them still to get something more modern than a GT 210, especially when a 710 is just $7 more, probably has much better driver support now and is 10x more powerful. By comparison GT 730 and 1030 are way too expensive!

AMD and NVidia still kinda make these GPUs, but they put them into professional cards. Like the Radeon Pro series for instance where we had the W7400 in the news just a couple days ago.

It's hard to guess why people do or buy certain things. 

I guess that those two cards were so popular that it's easier to find reviews or other info about them, prompting users to go that route, which in turn makes sales numbers higher, prompting more users to notice them, and so on.
