This is a great point! Generally, whenever someone says “let’s do this traditional thing”, you might want to check whether the thing actually is traditional… before getting distracted by the endless debates about whether “traditional things” are better than “modern things” (often too unspecific to be useful).
Adding my own too-unspecific-to-be-useful statement, I suspect that most things advertised as traditional are in fact not. Or that the tradition claiming to be millennia old actually started like hundred years ago, so kinda traditional, just not in the way the proponents claim.
