It is really surprising to me the very simple hex Low power Schottky inverter in a DIP package is so popular.

Wonder what the tantalum cap is from, google doesn't return any interesting results as to why it is a popular part.
My guess would be like the Sanyo chip mentioned above, used for repairs on older equipment.

Tantalum caps are really, really common. 1 uF is a common filter/decoupling cap size called out in datasheets of various parts, so it's not hugely surprising to see it.
