Just a thought here. Younger sewists are so used to computers and ease of use. A newer sewing machine will have the automation they are used to.
I agree the older machines are well made, but sometimes the models with the front loading bobbin cases are a bear when they get a jam. And newer sewists will most likely have a jam or two. It could make it frustrating for them.
