So my elderly parents don't get confused and cry when they can no longer do the thing they used to.

I don’t think enough people appreciate this point. Elderly people can do extremely technical things. Once they learn the user interface. At this point, even someone who is 80 or 90 years old has been potentially using computers for 50 years. They understand the technical concepts, but changing the user interface is really frustrating.
