A retired music teacher trombonist friend of mine who passed away a couple of years ago played with a Rudy Muck Cushion-rim mouthpiece that he'd probaby had since WWII. By comparison, the "wide" rim of 24AW is the edge of a razor.

I think maybe young players haven't really developed the technique of anchoring the corners of the embouchure really well and perhaps prefer the more comfortable rim of the 24AW as a substitute for good muscle support. (Did that make sense?, Whatever...)

Just a theory...
