I feel as if only old people quantify the age of planes for some reason.

In the aviation world, age doesn't really matter a whole lot. A lot of commercial airliners get refurbished once they're retired from the airlines and continue on for another 15+ years flying for cargo carriers. Hell, FedEx is still flying old arse MD-10s that were originally built in the 70s and 80s. It all boils down to the quality of the maintenance department.
