 For some, yes, as they have youtube channels dedicated to the genre.
That includes playing these old Sierra games and it is obvious to me
that they are enjoying them.
 As for me, my teen years were spent mostly playing Sierra titles. I
loved them. I own almost all of their games. And all of their hint
books as well as there is no way I could finish them without help.
 But at some point, I lost interest in adventure games. It was likely
due to my growing interest in strategy games and RPGs. I go back to
playing those old Sierra adventure games once in awhile but they will
never hold the same fascination for me as they once did.
 

I lost interest in adventure games because Sierra put in a quest where you had to pick up acorns and had to be on the exact pixel of the acorn to get it.  It was misguided.
