The parent just sounds like someone who loves a specific item and is a bit miffed they changed it.
Lots of "cheap plastic lenses" and "cheap spring hinges" type complaints without much backup.
Is carbon fiber cheap and rubbish because it isn't steel? Why does the parent think plastic means inferior?
"Mine are 40 years old and fine!!" Is a bit useless, and a sample of one.
I own a wide range of old and new sunglasses, and in my eyes, the new ones are mostly superior if you buy right. Granted Luxottica are a bad actor in many ways.
"... destroys the force of your argument ..." really? Does it? Does it tho? No.
I think the GP was bang on.
