General question: why don't more pinball games these days use rollover (aka star) buttons?

I know they were used heaps on older EM's but I've only seen them on two modern games, The Wizard of Oz and The Walking Dead.

Most of my non-pinball friends seem to think most inserts are rollover buttons haha so I'm thinking why not add more of them? It increases your shot options and can add a bit of variety, particularly if they can be turned off and on.

Are there any more modern games I'm missing that use rollover buttons?

And...why aren't they used more?
