If anything I'd turn the question around and ask if younger devs were more resistant to adopting older technology. It certainly seems that way when we have tools like electron are popoular because it allowa them to stick with the javascript/html they already know vs learning things like native desktop apis or nosql where they can just insert json objects rather than learn SQL. It seems rare to meet devs under 30 who learned tried and proven languages like c, c++, perl, etc or that know how to use a debugger outside of an IDE.
