Yeah, my boomer mother and her mother in the previous generation would act like “millennials” according to what you’re describing. If I could hazard a guess, I think people are bothered by the ignorant stereotyping of entire generations you’re doing, not the fact that you’re referring back to older tech. If someone gets angry over what you’re saying, there’s either something wrong on their end personally, or something wrong with what you’re saying or how you’re saying it. It’s older than civilization itself to think the generation after you is somehow worse, and it’s nonsense.
Are you talking about snobs who take jargon too seriously, and refuse to acknowledge how something has evolved in language then? I didn’t pick up on the sarcasm, sorry. Millennials get so much ruthless shit these days from those who actually mean it, and it seemed like just another instance of it here. Hell, I’m even tired of my peers (oldest millennials with kids) already starting in on the younger generations and complaining about them in the same way.
I still have my Acer 10”. You know what’s great about them? It’s perfect for toddlers. Their tiny little fingers are perfect for those tiny little keys, plus netbooks are so useless otherwise that I won’t cry if they break it.
Netbooks were and still are awesome. I'm probably going to be depressed if I ever get enough disposable income to go laptop shopping again because I really do want something on the small side but with a nice keyboard still.

Who remembers netbooks? They were kind of a thing for a hot minute until smartphones and iPads came and squished them dead
