>Younger people are less familiar with check boxes
I get that people fill out paper forms less than they used to, but give the younger generation some credit here. It's not like we live in a Star Trek future world where paper is an antique curiosity. It's still alive and well in schools, for example, lockdowns notwithstanding. I'm 100% sure they still know how to tick a box, be it by pen or by mouseclick or tapping a touchscreen.
For my part, I only recently learned that "radio buttons" were named after an actual kind of button that existed on old fashioned radios. I never encountered such radios as a kid, but I had no trouble at all using radio buttons in computer UIs.
There are only so many ways to make a button.
