There are other reasons for even older systems. You generally can't hook up systems from the 70s through the 90s to newer TVs without converters. They don't support the absurdly low resolutions those systems use nor their ancient connectors. This is even worse with old computers. Many of them used custom connectors that were only available on specific monitors produced by the OEM.
The funniness of CRTs also helps older systems look better. Especially older 16-bit and 32-bit consoles and computers (Genesis, Amiga, Atari ST). They expected the fuzziness and used dithering to simulate additional colors. The Genesis could only output 61 colors on screen simultaneously, for example. Picture related. This technique was used right up to the PlayStation as a kind of analog anti-aliasing.
