At least computer people aren’t pining for 286 computers because the experience was “pure”.
We waited 10 minutes for a game to load, and we loved it!!

This isn't solely about outdated digital technology. It's about a sea change type of shift from analog to digital, and there's a reason that there's still an enthusiast fanbase of analog things, from cars to watches to music.
While I certainly can appreciate some music made with a keytar, I don't see the keytar as a direct guitar replacement. We're seeing the same thing with cars. "Keytar" type cars are going to be fine for the majority of buyers, but some enthusiasts may want to stick with a six-string. The question is, who is going to keep making cars for these enthusiasts? I guess it would be Lotus, if we're talking only sports cars, but I'm not sure who it will be for more pragmatic, sporty cars. That kind of car may simply die off.
