I'm an older adult that's worked on touch interfaces and whatnot. I don't blame the touch mechanism as much as I blame all the UX designers that adopted Material design schemas and their descendents. Bad layouts, unreadable fonts, horrible color schemes and literally NO contrast between type and background. It's apparent that none of this was tested on older users. Apple is just as guilty of this. If you switch your iPhone into high contrast mode with thicker font weights it helps, but it wasn't necessary back in the early days of iOS.

Gnome with Enlightenment back in 1999 had configurable window decorations. If you wanted a border around a window that was a few pixels wider and easier to land a mouse on, you could do that. Naturally all of that functionality was thrown out when the Gnome project did a total rewrite that was "going to make everything better" and "fix all of the problems" they ran into in the first version.
