First affordable CD burner was from 1995. 50 year olds tend to not adopt new technology, it's a millennial thing.

As someone who worked sales in that time period, yes, it was the younger crowd (Gen X) that adapted much better to burning CDs. A lot of the baby boomers had difficulty with understanding certain key concepts and details. ... And instructions to be honest...
As for the "Boomer" commenter above: the military and government in the USA still burns to CD for a variety of reasons (no, I won't go into them). So if someone is military, a government employee, or even just a contractor, there is a chance that at some point they will need to burn a CD, regardless of age.
Really? Cause in my time in the army I never once saw any kind of military information being saved to cd. Not once. Never. Even in the early 2000s that was just never a thing. Ever.
