Another argument is that it's just nostalgia or you didn't notice because you were a kid. The thing is the argument can to a certain point work, however not always. I can't be nostalgic for games, movies and series I have never played/seen or only played/seen last year.

"You just don't enjoy games as much because you got older"
No. When I played Kingdom Come: Deliverance I had a feeling of immersion and exploration that I haven't felt in years. It's not because I grew old, it's because games now are full of shitty writing, shitty UI and even more scummy business practices that festered on mobile.

There could however be also survivor's bias added to the mix. For example we don't remember what kind of games released during the video game crash in the 80s.
