Would I qualify as a 52 year old?

Not sure that would help. At current rates a $300k house with 20% down payment is $1435. A 50 year term drops it to $1259. And even those meager savings will be partially offset by prices going up.

In Texas you can add $1,000 a month for Taxes / Insurance.
$2435.00. That’s around what I pay it sucks.

I just don’t feel this is a good thing. I realize that most responsible people will either pay if off early, or refinance to a shorter mortgage. It still just feels like a bandaid.

The Brits have been doing it for years.

Using the current median home price and current interest rates the difference in the monthly payment would be roughly $247 a month and the difference in interest paid to the banks would go from roughly $390,000 to $727,000. A difference of $327,000.
This doesn't account for the rise in home prices that would occur immediately following this being implemented.

Same with the Spaniards, Japs, and South Koreans.

And yet countries you leftists insist are far better than ours already offer them.
United Kingdom: At least one lender has been approved to offer 50-year fixed-rate mortgages. This has been proposed as a way to help make housing more accessible, though some fear it could raise house prices.
Spain: Offers mortgages with terms up to 50 years.
Japan: Offers some of the longest mortgage terms globally, with options for 100-year "intergenerational" mortgages that can be passed down to family members.
France: Offers mortgage terms up to 50 years.
Finland: Offers a mortgage product with a term of up to 60 years, although it has a low market share.

That is a big deal between owning or not

97% of homeowners do not stay in a home loan longer than 7yrs
Then they get another 30yr Fix and end up paying the same in interest
So youbreally didnt provide any reason its breathtakingly stupid. Which is par for the course with you

The 30yr has been the greatest thing to happen for the banks

Why not make the mortgage interest a tax credit instead of just a tax deduction?
