What's interesting about the skeuomorphism is that as tech progresses it becomes skeuomorphic to older tech - a perfect example is seeing a Floppy Disk as a Save Icon in an iPad program. It's likely a significant number of people don't know what it is beyond "save".
Apocryphal or not I still love the meme story of a kid finding a floppy disk and asking why someone would bother to 3D print a "save icon".
Other examples I included even in my above comment. Whoever "Bob" was, his home/office made him seem a curious luddite or eccentric throwback. He used what seemed a 1930s typewriter and his style of rolodex was from at least the 1950s, IIRC. On the one hand it was kind of cozy like visiting the home of a loving grandparent (perhaps Bob was always meant to evoke everyone's collective eccentric grandpa?), but on the other hand there was some "ludic dissonance" in that it was supposed to be "your house" and you were encouraged to customize and play with it. Why would I keep a typewriter so prominently? Are we sure we want a massive metal rolodex that's more likely to injure people (if not also be a tetanus risk) than be useful in a house with (talking) pets? Bob's skeumorphism was already dated in the 1990s that it launched into, and that's a fascinating reflection of it as well.
