No, the triggering part of your message was the "nostalgia" claim, which isn't supported by the evidence. Even young people typically have an easier time finding their way around interfaces with an older visual design than a modern flat design (all else being equal). This has been tested.
The fact that you claimed it anyway tells me that you have opinions on UI design but don't bother to check if they hold up.
