Mostly because the world disregards their concerns. "I was able to go through school with lead paint and leaded gasoline" says the fucking boomer.

"I was able to go to school withoit a cellphone."

Good job, you survived a time when life was much simpler, and I'm glad you'll use your experience to shit on the next generation. It's the same argument against LLMs. They aren't going away and saying. "No, don't" isn't going to change the world.

It's the same stupid worldview that thinks playing a "gambling is dangerous" warning after a Draft King ad is an effective deterrent.
