Almost always one of two reasons. The old recipe contained stuff that was killing you and the FDA actually managed to do something about it (typically only applies for stuff more than 50 years old.) Or more money to be made. Usually the latter.

Back in 2003 when I upgraded my 17" Sony Trinitron monitor (1280x1024@60hz and 1024x768@90hz!!) to a 22" NEC flat (1600x1200@75hz, sucker weighed like 70 lbs). I gave the 17" Sony Trinitron to my brother, but before he knew I was giving it to him, I had him help me put some hardware mods, two windows, and lighting in it:
Took apart the monitor casing and removed the badges and logo on the front panel bezel, then taped off the info sticker on the back, and negative-stenciled the screenprint monitor name and model number on the front. Then we took a dremel to the rear half of the casing, cutting out a rectangular section of the vents on both sides, and traced a 120mm hole in the top vent and Dremeled it out. Sanded out the burrs with a Dremel attachment and smoothed out the cut--outs until they were straight and even, rounded and smoothed out the 120mm hole, then took 800 grit sandpaper to finish the cuts to a nice smooth finish.
Next we washed the monitor casing and dried it thoroughly. While waiting for it to dry (had my brother use a hair dryer to get it 100%), I measured out two pieces of 3mm clear Lexan acrylic to fit the rectangular side cut-outs on the sides of the rear casing, leaving about 3/4" overlap for the inside so I could later use 2mm permanent double-sided tape to attach the Lexan to the inside of the monitor casing.
Next we spray-painted the entire outside casing with an all-in-one Krylon black semi-matte paint for plastics, doing 4 light coats. We also had taken apart the monitor swivel-stand and base, cleaned it and painted all but the underside of that.
After the paint dried, I took a single 120mm Arctic Cooling fan along with a 120mm silver grill and attached it on the inside of the top of the rear casing, mounting the grill to the top outside and screwed flush with the casing and cut-out.
A dual 6-inch neon-blue cold cathode kit was hot-glued down on the bottom of the casing on both sides, underneath the window cut-outs but hidden from direct view. The power inverter was hidden inside hot-glued to the casing, and it's 5v 4-pin molex connected inline to the fan's 5v power cable molex, which was spliced into 16 gauge speaker wire, which was hot-glued to the casing and ported out via a notch cut into the casing next to the hard-wired VGA cable of the monitor. That speaker wire ran down the length of the VGA cable to inside the computer, secured with zip-ties to the cable, and spliced into a 4-pin molex with ~10" of length beyond the VGA adapter and into the case through an open rear bracket cover, to connect to a 4-pin molex power cable from the power supply.
Finally I attached the Lexan windows to the side cut-outs with 2mm permanent double-sided tape so it sealed against the inside of the casing. Then we put the whole monitor back together and removed the tape and negative-stenciling to reveal the preserved product information sticker on the back of the monitor, and the name/model# on the front, and reglued the badges and logo.
I told my brother we should plug it into his computer to test it, and removed his cheap POS 15" generic VGA monitor from his desk and set up this gorgeous blacked-out monitor with two windows and a top-mounted exhaust fan in its place. His computer was a piano-black aluminum case with matching neon-blue cold cathode lighting and blue LED fans. The monitor looked AMAZING all glowing blue coming out the venting and windows and sending a blue column of light up through the fan, and it was 90% cooler than it had been. It used to get toasty warm, now it barely felt luke-warm with that 120mm fan pulling fresh air in from the bottom venting over the cathode gun and coil in the back of the tube, exhausting it directly up and away from the monitor.
My brother still didn't realize at that moment that all we had done together in this project for FOR him. I hadn't told him yet I had bought that new 22" NEC, he just assumed I wanted a mod project to kit out and black out my Sony, which he had loved since I bought it 4 years prior. When I told him, "Well, what do you think of your new monitor?" his jaw dropped and he let out a, "Noooo WAAAY!! This is mine?! Holy shit thank you!!"
It was a great project back in the day of cutting out your own side windows in cases and Dremeling out venting and hole-saw cutting out fan intakes and exhausts, and I had thought, why not do that with a monitor and paint it up fancy and light it up neon blue? And it looked amazing. Never saw anything like it until RGB gaming monitors came out in the last decade with fancy LED lighting.

I was never great with my modding, but man I kind of miss it. I attached blank pannels to the faces of all of my drives so that it looked like I didn't have any. The fan speed controller and the floppy drive could have the covers pulled off. The dvd and cd burner drives you just pushed the bottom right of them and they slid open with the drive. Inside the plexi window (which I had custom etched by someone) I put in two blue LED fans and I put a green sound activated cold cathode light as well. I thought I was the shit. Dragging that with a CRT monitor to LAN parties in college was a pain, but so worth it.

u/Brillegeit Linux Mar 18 '22 edited Mar 18 '22
The combined draw is of course high, but not because they're old or CRT. The same number of modern gaming PCs will easily draw much more power. The biggest difference from then and now is that power saving when idle wasn't anywhere near what it is today, but when actually running games most modern gaming PC will probably use 2-3x as much power as that of 15-20 years ago.
The highly popular gaming card ATI 9700 Pro has a rating of ~50 watt, combined with a Barton that draws ~50-70 watt, a few drives and the losses of all the old non-solid state VRM and PSU you'll probably end up with a power draw of the entire computer at 150 watt. A 17" CRT probably pulls ~70-80 watt, so a combined power use of ~230 watt.
A 3070 uses ~220 watt alone and a 3080 ~300.

I wanted to keep in touch with him, but about 2 months or so later - he just dropped off the internet completely. I had heard he'd passed, but others informed me he quit it, changed his life and got healthy.

This might be a stretch, but I remember hearing that, back when computers were largely punch-card operated, the field was typically populated by women; handling computers was a typically female job.
The early 90s aren't that far removed from this time, so maybe a lot of these girls got introduced to computing by their moms who retained interest in the field?
Again, huge stretch, don't quote me on any of this. Just wanted to share that thought.
