I must admit they have a strange view on what old games are. Of the ones I've played they are still quite playable today. Part of that I think is that since maybe the 2010's graphics reached a stage where the rate of increase in quality started slowing down and you had already reached a stage where they were acceptable to me even now. I if look at something like Crysis:Warhead the graphics are still perfectly fine even if they don't have all the bells and whistles you get now days. If you compare that to a game from say 1998 they really are worlds apart.
The other thing I believe plays a part is a lot of player mechanics/QoL features have kept relatively the same.
