The reason why they pull the "what about the elderly?" card is simple. Most of us can figure it out, even if it's stupid. My parents however have a much, much harder time trying to figure out how to do something that is counter-intuitive. It's more about problem solving and experience with existing user interfaces than anything else. Designers nowadays definitely design things in a manner that suggests they assume some pre-existing knowledge of UI patterns.
