My weeaboo status is limited, but Im certain Japan has, and had, a culture that held onto and appreciated older technology instead of immediately jumping to the newest and more expensive one.
American video game podcasts in the 00s routinely made fun of the Japanese game industry for still relying on fax. Localizers for P1, P2, and probably P3, still had to know how to fax.
