Indexed shifting is... ancient, not vintage in 2021.

30 year old Ultegra 9 speed STI is not modern tech, it's vintage, borderline ancient even.
Maybe so but in our realm, downtube = ancient vintage, index = vintage vintage, STI = modern vintage, C+V ain't current, modern or general but we do embrace all of it as needed to suit ourselves.
