I don't think that's necessarily true. It's just that items designed for the elderly are designed by young people who think this is what elderly people need. My mom uses quite a few items that are supposed to be designed for the elderly. Only a few really work whereas others simply don't work.
I don't think most elderly don't want to be reminded that they are old. They will happily use stuff that actually works for them.
