Why do road bikes still have the old style loop of cable into the back of the mech? Seems old fashioned nowadays.

Because it's change. Change is equal to fear. All change is unnecessary.

Because it works absolutely fine?
Didn't even realise you got an alternative!

I think it's because the alternative linkage is ever so slightly stiff to use, so the old version feels better and is kept. Ripping the cable loop off isn't much of a concern on road bikes.
