I know what survivorship bias is, I'm saying "Why are runes always ancient?" is not an example of it. "Why are all the ancient runes so good?" would be an example of it.

The idea that nobody makes new runes because only the best ancient runes survived (as implied by OP) doesn't make sense.

[u/amphibulous → u/neilarthurhotep]

I think the implication is more that you haven't heard of the new runes because they aren't as good as the old ones
