Gamers today are much older than 30 years ago, and older people don’t have the time to grind on side-quests for 100 hours.

30 years ago, I wasn't playing 100-hour games because they were shorter. Final Fantasy IV (or II as we called it back then) was 30-40 hours, and we thought that was huge.
Games aren't really 100 hours though, they're still generally 40-60 hours with side content that's usually mind numbing.
