You're right, it absolutely does make sense. And yet it annoys me anyway.
There's been research by linguists (John McWhorter comes to mind) analyzing this phenomenon and it basically just comes down to the fact that as we age, we get more set in our ways, so the linguistic innovations that younger people do just have a tendency to annoy us, even when they logically follow or are objectively useful.
I try not to let it bother me, because it's irrational to feel that way, but it just does lol
