Its the old style “oogat matza” that largely died out since they tend to go hametzdik (that’s probably where the minhag of gebrokts came from), though some Sefardi communities keep them, and every year some people try to revive the custom among Ashkenazim (usually as the “koolah” of the year). It’s unlikely to catch on for the same reason it disappeared in the past – the current way of making matza is easier and cheaper, produces matzos with less risk of becoming hametzed, and are easily to transport and sell.
