I am a late Boomer (Boomer cohorts 1946 - 1966), have my BTC/Lightning Node running, and of course, use Cold Wallets. What I don't do is buy BTC Peer to Peer through Vexl, Peach, or Bisq. It's too cumbersome for me, even though it would clearly be better for my privacy.
Besides, I am trying (so far unsuccessfully) to introduce BTC to my daughter and my family. Therefore, I am not investing for myself, but ultimately for my daughter.
The way you do it—focusing on the next generation (Millennials, Gen Z)—is good, but it is hardly different from the selfish behavior you perceive in Boomers. Bitcoin is a new technology that would not exist without past experiences.
Our generations will pass on, and the next youngest Generation Alpha might blame you for it (being a
rich Bitcoin/Satoshi holder).
I understand your frustration, but do not share your conclusion.

It might be an unpopular opinion, but I won't waste time anymore with orange-pilling Boomers.
They're not interested in the state of self-custody #Bitcoin now but want to trade it for profit. Which is fine. They want the IOU's.
I usually guide them to exchanges and tell them if they want to know more, download that if they want to know more, they should download nostr:npub1sqzr42dj8vx32yd5jcvvl3ytux45kl0etgf6y2ymjvmd7lqmuwmqk9vk7v and get back to me.
I am not saying that all of them are like this, but in my experience, the majority are.
Rather, I focus on orange-pilling Millennials or Gen Z and help them understand why taking control of their future is vital.
Don't freak out, Internet Karens!
Hmm, a few thoughts.
Boomers have the big money. Millennials will inherit it. Therefore, think carefully about advising the tech-awkward Boomers well.
Boomers are Cypherpunks and developed Bitcoin.
It only works in cooperation. Many variations are possible, and how each generation acts specifically is not important. On the contrary, it creates unnecessary divisions.
Nostr is a cool alternative to Twitter due to its decentralization and zapping - voluntary monetization. However, for other things like YouTube, it becomes more difficult.
Am i wrong?

In our company, we're considering whether the driving staff should finally be allowed to listen to music. I can only say what Frankie Goes to Hollywood sings: Relax!
