I would guess I'm somewhere around half the average age on this site. I have a pile of two cylinders that aren't going anywhere and are in a constant state of work/restoration. There's a lot of comments here around young people being too lazy/untrained/uninterested to continue the hobby. There is some there is some of that. The average user here decided that fixing up old tractors was more of a priority breeding, training, and working with horses.
