I agree with most of your post except for one thing. In our current culture, at least where I live (Israel), having kids doesn't guarantee that they will support/take-care of you.
Right now I am playing a game called OpenRA. The game crashes for me sometimes when on the main menu and never crashes during gameplay. The game also suffers from a gameplay imbalance. Currently more effort is invested in adding these new balance feautres than in main menu ui stability. The balance is, imho, the "better thing". If the bug was fixed then we'd have a slightly more stable program on account of a crucial feature.
Ideally both things (ui bug + balance) should be fixed. Practically, time is limited.
I think we define compromise differently. If someone decides to give up on the quality of something, willingly, not because he can't, but because he has better things to do for the project, why is he an idiot?
While I can understand your side, I have to admit that I laughed pretty hard when I heard they kicked pewdiepie out. So I guess what they do is humor too.
I do C++ for a living, and it's very different from C. C++ is becoming more and more high level, while in C people use more traditional allocation schemes and weaker type systems that require more manual bookkeeping. Furthermore, most C programming is done on either embedded environments or kernel mode, while most C++ is done on Windows/Linux/Mac in user mode.
For traditional workloads there is no need to be counting the bytes like there used to be. But when it comes to IoT applications there is that need once again...
Writing drivers and infrastructure is normal C use, why would it cause the so-called "spike" that the summary refers to?
I heard this said before about phones, but eventually technology developed enough to allow mobile devices to have a strong enough processor. People are already too used to program higher-level and I see no reason why the same environments we have in our phones can't run on our fridges or boilers or ovens, therefore I do not think that people will use C.
I had a friend who used to pay for it. He had a specific fetish and was very lazy, so he said he prefers to have a monthly fee rather than to spend time searching for it.
Surprising, with people that I know it's the opposite, work becomes the habit. Young people are usually those who are free enough to escape the "self fulfillment = job" programming that society gives you. Where are you from?
You could actually get 16 colors in CGA if you scaled down to a resolution of 160*100. Round 42 and Moon bugs used it, for a while dosbox didn't support it and you had to run another dos emulator called bhole.
Don't forget mode X which allows double buffering on the expesnse of weird "banking" access to memory (you get access to every 4th pixel, from both the current buffer and the hidden buffer, and you have to issue a port IO to switch which mod-4 set of pixels you want)

How old are they? Where do they live? I knew people like that too, they were mostly young and either living on friend's houses or hippie festivals. I think it gets more difficult when you grow old. Then again, I am from a poor country, maybe in richer countries it is easier.
I think that sex is not really that interesting, and at some point you would look for other things to do. If you're not careful, you may search for a job just to fill the emptiness.
This reminds of the good old days when you could run code in documents and infect people with them. The only difference is that at least in that case, this was limited only to documents and only from microsoft. Nowadays, since everything is being to pushed to the web, this is much worse.
The older crowd was the one that gave us unsecure protocols like SMTP and DNS. I think that what changed it not only the average technical level of the crowd, but the fact that once the internet grew from a few thousands to a billion, the sense of a small community was lost and replaced by a sense of alienation in a huge crowd where everyone is only for himself.

Or maybe, like some people europe and japan, people are becoming less interested in starting a family.
I mostly use it to search for things censored by google and friends, and for that it does a better job than them.
Why not switch to duckduckgo?
If they were willing to deprecate what was once a flagship technology once, they will do it again.

Why do we refer to a userspace infrastructure/UI API as an OS? Are KDE and GNOME OSes now?

There is a practical reason, programmer efficency. If that programmer compromises, he can do more work.
Why do you equate "not learning C" with "falling so far"?

Computers (and machines in general) were created to make the life of humans easier. Imho, a real programmer also remembers that fact.

1 year master/phd dafaq? Does this imply no thesis or something? Why would anyone consider this to be a real degree?
