Nope, and I'm 60. AFAICT we switched because plastic bags were far stronger, and didn't fail immediately if they got damp.

So industry switched to them to be more environmentally friendly, and then after a while, no one actually re-used the bags, making them perhaps better in theory but ultimately worse in practice. I don't have the life experience you have but ChatGPT tells me this was a major reason.
