The problem is that CP/M machines were business machines.  So even
though they sold well, they didn't sell at the level of the TRS-80, for
example. Also, the odds of us seeing one as kids was really low.  I
never saw a Kaypro, for example, "in the wild" when I was a kid.  I saw
ads for them, though.
 
I mention that last point because many of us collect the computers that
we remember from when we were kids - either we used them or lusted over
them.

One possible exception to that, in Europe, was the Amstrad PCW which were
pretty common in schools and people's home offices.  Although admittedly,
many of those were used more for Locoscript than for CP/M.  My school had
a room of them and my grandfather had one as well.  They were a great
CP/M machine and I would imagine that most people who used them remember
them quite fondly.
