Right, because when they started work, they were put behind glass and frozen in time. It's not as if they were around to watch the computers, that their generation developed and brought to market, slowly take over all aspects of the workplace and society. It's not as if there was ongoing and recurrent training in all fields, as new technologies and practices evolved over the years. Please outline how being up to date on Tinder and Tik Tok has contributed to your, no doubt, meteoric rise in the gig economy.

Are they all like that? Of course not, but many are.
Probably wouldn't be the laugh fest you envision. Hopefully, a bunch of old people, who have investments, money in the bank, grown kids, paid off mortgages and no outstanding school loans for useless liberal arts degrees, wouldn't be chasing anything more than a source of pocket change. One thing for sure, they wouldn't be sitting on their entitled and lazy asses, whining to each other about how the world owes them something and is failing to recognize their right to start at the top.
