Back in my day, when kids heard older people talking, they listened because they knew they were hearing from someone with more experience than themselves. Kids these days lost their ways and think that knowledge and judgement are achieved in youth and then gradually fade away.
Just kidding, back in my day kids assumed the same thing.
Also, this exact conversation has been happening since the web was created. Linked article is evidence of that.
I agree with your commentary along the lines of o tempora o mores, when you could argue the pattern remains largely the same.
In a more practical way though, some new things are good, some new thing are bad. It makes sense to adopt good stuff and cut off the bad. Deck? Mostly good. Requiring phone number to play a game? Bad. Naturally, it is a very subjective process and we are bound to disagree on details.
Not that long ago a family member tried to use the same argument used here ( its a generational thing; old people just hate new stuff ) when trying to convince that Venmo is actually good as I was trying to gently indicate that maybe a payment system that by default announces to the world[1] I just spent X on Y may not be the best thing since sliced bread. Working near that space I was amused, but each to their own ( and I certainly am not going to tell the guy how to raise his kids ).
This is exact conversation (modulo the web) has likely been happening since humans became a thing. It's an endless cycle and it takes a lot of self-reflection to step out of.
