They speak to different audiences, audiences that have always been there (so the "old" and "new" are really misnomers).
To be fair, either set of rules (AD&D, 2e, 0D&D, BECMI vs. 3.x, 4.x, and conceivably 5.x) can be used for either style of play, but really, each of them fits better within their own element. Of course, this is a generalization since even within those two categories, each system is different enough that it goes different places, but generally speaking.
