Yes, just look at the amount of reviews of old cameras on YouTube! Of course, this is software so it will be easier to find than an old camera or lens but I am also sure it will also be celebrated as a timeless genre.
For that to happen this flickering animation style has to become popular first. I don't think it will be. It can only be applied to very niche situations. It will never be a mainstream thing like old cameras were.
They are saying that there is no need to figure out how to recreate "the "glitch" of today that will be the nostalgic style of tomorrow" as the "old"/current models are all available on GitHub and huggingface, and will be in the future.
There is no need to figure out how to recreate this style as you will be able to find it on these platforms in the future. The commenter understood you, but you did not understand the commenter.
Yes. Because of the way reply notifications come in I thought it was a reply to a different comment.
But I still think that's missing the point of my (not entirely serious) comment.
People still have access to analogue amplifiers but digital simulations of them are still developed.
As models and workflows improve, if people want a flickery old-school look then they may well simulate it rather than go through the hassle of running old tools that might not mesh well with newer workflows.

That's because analog stuff requires hardware. There's "something to simulate". You don't simulate digital computers, perhaps you "emulate" them.
More generally, analog stuff is really different from digital stuff. Some "audiophiles" argue about which lossless compression algorithm applied to .wav files gives the best sound, but we know it's just bits. Bits are fungible. By contrast, you can never make a perfect copy of something analog (you can often make a copy that's indistinguishable for all purposes that matter, but there's still a difference). People still make and buy LPs, the sales are increasing. I don't expect that to ever happen for CDs, unless perhaps combined with scratching or otherwise damaging them on purpose.
Of course, nostalgia goes beyond such mundane distinctions, which gives rise to thingsike pixel art. But there's still nothing to simulate there.
We don't know actually. Could be Cease and Disease letters from creators of AI-networks, could be change in copyright laws, could be simply not profitable enough to continue operations or continue to store old data.
Nah, nobody is going to be figuring anything out, you'll be able to generate it with little effort with a prompt, just like everything else. But we will be so inundated by high quality digital art in every imaginable style that it will be boring, everything will be boring.
