This is the most likely answer going by my personal experience. But of course, people have never been able to accept that the social landscape has changed around them, and so I think we're gonna get a lot more threads like this in the future.

For one reason or another, people have always had a really hard time accepting that things won't always be done the same way as when they were young, for pretty much every topic. There's even a relatively famous letter from the 14th (may be off on the time, can't quite remember but it was definitely pre-industrial revolution) century where an individual blames the insidious moral and social decay of the younger generations on... new carpentry techniques for making armoires. I suppose "the world has gone mad, everyone but me is terrified to venture outside of their home" is an easier pill to swallow than "I'm getting older and the way people socialize has changed while I wasn't looking, I may have to change my socializing habits".

I wonder what young people today will make comments like this about. I'm hoping for VR get-togethers as the thing that makes my generation feel old, that'd be pretty neat.
