The color count is so low it seems like it would be hard to see in this day and age, doesn't it? Isn't this effectively the pixel art that's popular right now?

Well the ZX81 was black and white only so that's not too surprising.

Most books are printed in black and white too. How does that make it hard to see?

The art style is "semigraphics", not pixel art. See:
