"Aged" accounts are a thing you can buy on the black market, as well as hacked accounts of users with long chains of legitimate activity. It's not as strong of an anti-fraud signal as you might think.

But 20 years of regular purchases to the same address(es) is easy for them to verify

Yes but so what? All that proves is the account is aged. It doesn't prove it's not been taken over or sold. People move pretty regularly or order things for friends/family, a change of address doesn't mean anything.

So they sold their account to a fraudster who also moved into their old address? Sure, it's possible but now verging on the ridiculous.

They can use common sense for the refund. They are just choosing not to.

the real reason is that adding friction to returns decreases them in general - even legitimate ones.

You don't know they sold their account to a fraudster. You only know that the delivery address changed. That's a very weak signal.
