Well a big part of the problem in boomers not retiring is also that it discouraged innovation. It's worse in certain industries, companies, and locations, but between credentialism and experience mattering so much you have many people who are behind industry trends setting policy and criteria. Hence why you have so many middle managers and HR people in their 30s and 40s who cannot use a computer, because the executives also struggle with computers and don't see their value.
Zoomers don't know how to use computers either. Computers add very little efficiency overall, especially as they age. They are also inflexible. Pointless innovation is part of the problem.
That's actually a huge problem in Japan, and has been for years. It's getting worse in the US because of smartphones and fewer younger people growing up with computers. Someone here relayed an anecdote the other day about a new grad not knowing how the shift key on a keyboard works.
