The old man / get off my lawn reactionary response to the grading industry is ridiculous.
You seem to take issue with long-time collectors enjoying the hobby in the manner which appeals to them.

Card collecting is a fairly large space these days. There's plenty of room for everyone. Relax and enjoy the portion of the hobby that resonates with you.

Happy collecting.
