I'm one of the "not everyone"s.

I've gone back to analogue radios, amps from the 90s, physical notebooks, old TVs, and even old gaming consoles. Why? Because they just work. There are no updates changing the interface, bugs to workaround (usually also from updates), annoyingly poor interface design to deal with, and the need to handle them with cotton in case they break.

That old tech is so good, it works 30+ years later. Can you imagine anything you bought in the last year working thirty years from now?

I understand where you are coming from. I've done that with a few selected items, but in general I have chosen the newer options. There always seems to be a feature or two I find worth the hassle.
