I don't know how to better explain this, but as I get older I find I just have less energy to address all the things. My worldview gets larger and my energy levels become less and eventually I need to just 'stop' progressing in a certain activity. It could be re-learning the TV's remote control like my grandparents, or it could be re-learning how to drive with an EV touchscreen on modern cars, or it could be re-learning an operating system that just presents a mountain where you just say: "I can't do it this time."

Sure, if you ignore all the time you're wasting on the status quo. You are still using energy on all the problems of the existing system.

For a remote or a car there is no benefit to changing. For Windows there is.

I feel like that sentiment is really in the eyes of the beholder. You could argue as long as Windows still accepts and runs .exes, I'm good to go with gaming. But, that excludes all of the benefits of changing.

Idk, it's more of a philosophical perspective at this point. I see where you're coming from.
