I think 55+ are more likely to belong to social organizations than younger
people who are still working full-time, in school full-time, have kids in
diapers or still living at home, etc. 55+ers also haven't had a computer
most of their grown lives, whereas younger people have, and so those 55+ers
might tend toward MUG for troubleshoooting and handholding.

<anecdote>The crowd I see in an Apple Retail location any day of the week is
typically much younger than 55+. </anecdote>
