Ironically modern Linux is trying to alienate the grey beards with uneditable config files, breaking decades of convention, etc.

Only those that never used UNIX commercial clones, which have deviated from System V long time ago.

What?

Systemd, netplan, and many other things.

I am not sure what UNIX clones have to do with this

The latest version of Ubuntu you can not even set the IP with standard etc config, you have to use netplan YAML configuration

systemd has replaced all kinds of things with non "grey beard" configurations,

the list is pretty extensive

Solaris and AIX had systemd like features eons ago.

OS X configuration files (plists) can be XML based or binary, many are binary and managed via plist CLI or app.
