Two things:There is a bit of difference between hating something new just because it is new, and hating it because it didn't need to be improved to begin with.
There have been plenty of things that got better with each edition of D&D for some players, yet some would consider those changes to not be an improvement. The difference now is social media gives a minority of players a disproportionate voice to change the game. In the past everyone was equal in this regard unless they took the time to write an actual, coherent, well thought out letter to try and influence tv shows, game designers, manufacturers, whoever. Now, one person can go and write a crayon letter on twitter or post a ranting incoherent video and they are all too often taken seriously
Hey, I know all the buzzwords too and if you think that you should be able to hang the title of grognard on anyone complaining about an edition change after so short a development cycle, well you go ahead and appropriate it all you want.
But you may not get the same respect.
On the other hand, any grognard would tell ya that you can't put "long-time" and "4e" in close proximity to each other.

People align themselves with uncharitable terminology all the time. Sometimes they do it to take that terminology back. Sometimes they do it to show they don't accept others' value judgements. Sometimes they do it just to be difficult.
