and you probably wont need to because modern cars are a lot more reliable, and we have a lot more services now that exist to help in situations where you've broken down, and fewer remote areas where such services are unavailable than in we did in the past.

True, but I think it's far more likely that young people today don't want to learn how to fix cars because fixing a modern car is vastly different from fixing one made like 30 years ago. Modern cars are loaded with proprietary technology, anti-tamper screws, plastic covers, etc that make them too tough to work on to be worth it. I remember changing the fuel injectors on my first car with only the instructions that came with the injectors and a chiltons manual. Imagine doing something like that on a car from 2020+.
