"but, for whatever reason, you are noticing it more"
Most societies indoctrinate people to "respect their elders" to varying degrees.
A younger person having authority over an older person is a role reversal many are not equipped to deal with, from either side of that equation.
So it is noticed more.
Further, this elephant in the room has to be acknowledged before either side can move on meaningfully. But you can't "discriminate based on age" or you might end up in court depending on where in the world you are.
Makes it a tricky problem that I am not surprised people just "avoid".
