I would say a part of it is that we're practically buried in computers on a daily basis. The computer industry and computer-adjacent industries aren't really interested in old machines - it's all about what's newer and better. Compared to the airplane - a properly maintained airplane can last for quite a while. We aren't buried in airplanes - if they were that common, I'm pretty sure no one would care about the history of airplanes.
