Same reason why any other religion exists today: personal fulfillment, indoctrination, cultural/family traditions, etc.

Some people think that guy Confucius had some good ideas. There are older religions that are still alive and kicking.

For the same reason that Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism and other Eastern religion and philosophy continues to exist today, because there is still relevance in them. I suggest reading The Analects by Confucius, as we could each find relevance in his essential philosophy: Jen (benevolence), Yi (righteousness) and Chun-Tu (the gentlemen).
