Come follow me around and speak with my 90 year old patients. First thing out of their mouth when asked how they are doing is “Terrible”!!!

Bro, if you don’t want to do it or physically can’t, fine.
Bro, I'm not telling people what they can or can't do. I'm over 50. My office is on the 4th floor of an office building and I take the stairs up and down multiple times a day. I always said that I'm not handicap and I will take the stairs instead of the elevator. As for running, it's definitely a lot harder that just 10 years ago. My knees and shins can't take much more than one mile at a time, so brisk walking for me mostly.

I'd be willing. My back won't be though. Also my foot, considering it loves a good stress fracture.
Throw knees in there, just for good measure.

If I’m allowed to include the time spent in sauna/steam room and cold plunge, might get within neighborhood of total. Those increase heart rates and have similarities with brisk walking.
Maybe 20% of total vigorous with 80% moderate.

Coming from someone who runs every day, this is an absurd amount of exercise in a week for the average human. Hell, more than average human.
Just a stupid "study".
Keep in mind that "moderate" exercise means something like brisk walking. Studies usually call workout classes, running, lifting, etc. "vigorous" exercise and count it as double. 90 minutes a day of brisk walking for 30%+ reduction in cardiac episodes seems right when you consider that.

My mother died at 85 after a prolonged illness. My dad is 90 and in poor health. From my perspective, an extended longevity is not a desirable outcome
The benefits of being fit include an extended middle age. You are likely to get the shitty ending no matter what. But if you are fit, your middle age will go far into what is normally considered elderly, and your bad ending will likely be three to six months.
The book Outlive gives a great statistical look at it, as well as great advice on how to manage it.
