I have various electronic items from the 1970s/80s, particularly a big LED clock, that use red LEDs. Even though they look dated and may lack features, I hope to keep using them until my own EOL, because any replacement would use those bright blue LEDs. Like others here, I generally hack new devices to reduce the glow.

Never failed, and it's so easy to set the time/alarm (hold down the time or alarm button, and press the + or - button). The physical switches (alarm/radio etc) still work perfectly - while over the decades since I've seen so many devices end up with failed/glitchy buttons within a few years.
