Why mind this if the hardware to add is the same level of technology like Z80 itself? I would be glad to build a computer as advanced as possible combining some Z80s and additional HW.

But it's not "the Z80's protected mode" - it's "the Z80 + an extra circuit to emulate protected mode". It's a super clever hack, yes! But filthy clickbait also.
