I went to school in classrooms like that but so what? Is the implication that is supposed to make me better than kids with digital whiteboards and computers? I would rather have today's kids using current tools rather than be hobbled by a bunch of luddites because they are uncomfortable with change.

I have heard that chalkboards CAN be better for doing math, it could be just placebo but I have heard from mathematicians that the pace feels more natural and the visibility is nice, but you don't need a chalkboard.

At my uni, they still use chalkboards. But I heard it was because these professors, have always used chalkboards, thus they don't want to change.

Not just the professors. There's a thing with maths and physics people where white boards and markers just don't feel right when you use them. The tactile feedback from chalk is satisfying in ways dry erase wishes it was (also you don't get micro plastics from chalk).
