I’d call it just plain politeness no matter the age. I’d say that maybe what & how they taught being polite is coming thru, something I think is lacking in how kids are taught.
Why do people have to rename everything? In high-school, being a senior was the ultimate status. Being senior tech / worker means you are in charge. I see nothing disrespectful about being a senior much less a citizen.
On the other hand, being called an old geezer or a boomer seems very disrespectful. Let’s stop twisting language around until it is no longer recognizable.

We don’t need any fancy titles. “OLD” says it all, and it’s good enough for me.

A valid point. I like “golden agers”.

I call myself a geezer, and I’m only 79.

If I started acting my age I’d never get out of this chair.
