I call shenanigans. Blu rays still make up most of physical sales and that video quality makes up the most consumed resolution.

I can kinda see the argument for CDs but they are still sold new in big name B&M stores. “Close to worthless” is hyperbole at the very least.

Just because they are still sold doesn't mean that they are not ancient.

You can still buy, for example, a GT 1030, which, compared to more modern graphics cards, is considered ancient.

Just because something is still being sold or bought doesn't mean that it's not ancient.
