I understand what you're trying to say and you are wrong. I've flown old planes single pilot IFR and new glass cockpit airliners to CAT III zero-zero landings. They are different, but the newer doesn't mean easier. Pilot pay has come down for many other reasons, but that is not one of them. I have 11,000 hours and six airliner type ratings. Newer and automation create a whole new set of problems and lots more complicated training. Sometimes just keeping it simple would be easier.
