You are correct in that it is anecdotal, but across the board among those I interact with it has seemed to reign true. And from those my age I talk to they seem to mostly agree.

It could also be a case of when I do see it used regardless of age, it appears to either be overused, or rarely used, and overuse tends to lean older.

I had the same observation years ago. Like 2001. Folks that were 40+ at the time used ellipsis for pause or dramatic effect vastly more than the younger, tech savvy kids at the time. I've been downvoted previously for the observation. :shrug:
