I was ready to argue that we're not all older, but apparently I'm in that category. I'm not very tech literate or use Linux, though.
I think someone else got it right. Younger people didn't live through dial-up and the old internet. They grew up with polished apps and fast loading websites. They're used to convenience.
It can be intimidating to join the fediverse. I was intimidated and still a bit confused. It's not something I'm familiar with in the slightest. I'm not scared of challenging myself to learn something new in tech, though, because of the generation I was born into. We grew up experimenting with the crunchy internet and awkward technology.
I'd say that's the correct take on drug use. Are you trying to argue that you're not addicted?
