What's really funny about this is that bicycles are probably the best product for buying a working model from whatever year that happened to be. Try buying a working Windows 95 computer if you really thought that era was great.
I don't have much use for a lot of the post-90s evolution, but I'm not having any trouble keeping my bikes going and I think it's great that more people get a gearing range, etc. that better suits them. If it gets to the point where they stop making the parts I need, I'll be sad, but that seems to be a generation or two away at this point.
