Autocrats are generally not young people who take power through their sheer goodwill toward humanity plus willingness to compromise and listen to alternative viewpoints. You're already looking at somebody willing to do the things necessary to take power, hold onto it when contested, and cement themselves into a position above all others. Once solidly in power with organizations like police, military, and political leadership kept loyal and happy (again, organizations that tend to be more conservative) the need to even appear to give a poo poo about whatever dumb new thing the kids think is important starts to evaporate while the entire power structure gets dragged along for the ride with anyone in or seeking positions of power trying to please the boss or his sycophants (alternatively getting removed by the boss or his sycophants).

Then the boss and the sycophants surrounding him get older and increasingly out of touch.
