Even if so, why would that mean older people have no use for Shazam? Have you never heard an old song you half-recognized and thought “huh, what band is that again?”

It doesn't mean "older people have no use for Shazam".
It means "as it has been observed statistically, _most_ older people don't seem to have a use for Shazam and any random older person is more likely to fall into that category than the rest of the older people".
Carl Craig is old too.

Yes, but this is not such a large part of the older demographic's lifestyle for the app to matter much to them.
Old people also want to send their dickpicks too, but they don't flock to Snapchat.
