What I wrote something similar I used the word "most" as I knew there was
some CP/M software that required z80.  However from a business user 
perspective most of the deireable and likely used software like word 
preocessors, spreadsheets and databases 8080 was just fine save for 
speed and the 8085 solved that.  Also the 8085 was more of a bridge 
than the ultimate application cpu.
