What is zero drop?
It doesn't sound like they make you run any faster. I think I'll skip.

Totally, humans have been running zero-drop for ~200,000 years, and about 40 years with elevated heels. But it's definitely zero-drop that's the fad.

Were those running shoes?
Hokas. Or Altras.
Good zero-drop shoes are not bad looking.

And yes, that is the brand the dude front running the Boston Marathon was wearing.
more like a preference
I prefer 4mm drop and under, though not "barefoot" shoes. Helped me up my mileage without significant knee pain. Not a panacea, of course, but a viable option for some people. Enough of the market that we'll keep seeing them, probably.
