Don't the 40s and 50s know how to read statistics?

Why on earth are people saying things like
"It was hard to get into large corporations back in our 40s and 50s"
"It was hard to buy a house in Seoul back then"
It must have been difficult, sure; but if you look at the statistics for
competition rates for large corporations, PIR, wage growth rates, and apartment price appreciation rates,
the comparison of difficulty between the 2030 generation and yours is obvious;
And please stop bringing up things like Bitcoin.
The seed money for the 4050 generation is definitely larger, lol. The entry seed money for real estate is on a completely different level.
I could understand if you said it was hard because of the corporate culture or long working hours, but why do you keep trying to pick a fight with statistics?
It's just like how old single women try to win arguments through sheer stubbornness;
