First, it isn't better, it's just newer, and second, it doesn't matter whether or not you want better software. It matters whether a user or use case wants to continue to use an old device or software. If you start deciding for the user what they can or can't, should or shouldn't, do with their computer, now you've become an authoritarian/paternalist, which is objectively a bad thing to be.

Requiring consent of the device owner is not a problem, it's a goal.

Not every use case has to matter for every site operator. That's such an entitled thing to expect it's absurd.

No, it's not authoritarian or paternalist. You're still free to visit those sites that wish to support your use-case. It would be authoritarian if you'd force everyone to support some old shit for all eternity for no good reason.
