It's marketing doublespeak dreamed up by the totally deranged and it works
You have to remember its millennials and Gen Z experiencing this genre, not boomers.
Boomer doesn't have to be literal boomers but old, like it is a joke in the WoW community to call it a boomer game because most of the people playing it (especially classic) are 30+ years old.
In the same way, people will talk about boomers in politics but Obama was the last baby boomer in the presidency.
