Old really means there's been more time to identify and solve the problem, and the fact it hasn't been cleanly solved is a lot more indicative of priorities than time or tech.
Microsoft and Apple have the incentive of selling to billion-user markets. The open source community, on average, appears to have demonstrated a lack of interest in opening up the user-base further (and expecting that user-base to just roll their own solution creates multiple catch-22 and tragedy of the commons problems).
Why one of the commercial open-source vendors hasn't taken this on as a core challenge, I do not know.
