Regardless of what?
They've been around and popular for many years so most people have at some point owned mavics.
This doesn't mean a23s and Archetypes aren't better, just that they're newer.
The a23 is cheap and now proven. It carries more air than an Open Pro and is now tubeless ready. The Archetype is newer but the quality is really good (no burs and nice finishes). They're a really stiff shape too.
