A few comments. There are only so many senior roles so as you are promoted there are more folks fighting for fewer seats, and this is why a lot of people move into management type roles as they get older. I also feel that SW development is a younger person's brief nowadays as the prevalence of python means it's more about googling and less about SW engineering. It reduces the need for senior people but these younger folks will get older too. There are a number of companies where there are older folks in senior SW roles if you look for them. I find that it's harder to work with younger folks as they are less likely to have families so have this mentality to work longer and then go out on the town. Not interested. Two euros.
