Why isn't PVP appealing to the older base?

Hello, playing since 2012 with a community of friends. We used to PVP a lot and loved it. From Beta to a bit after the 1.9 combat update. It was just goofy fun, but sometimes fights did get serious. But it was still fun!

A lot of us returned to Minecraft and it is now 1.20. Something about PVP on an SMP server just isnt appealing anymore. Most of us just build or explore or sit around. Meanwhile newer players cant understand why none of us want to PVP. I don't even have a good reason for it. Netherite and diamonds being harder to find increases the grind thus risk of losing gear isn't worth it? Shields adding a bit more skill and learning curve to PVP? The miserable nature of brewing potions? Finding enchanted gapples?

I really don't know what the exact reason is. Has anyone PVP'd a lot back in the day, stopped, and successfully found it fun again in later versions? Suddenly there's tier lists and rankings and different competitive Kits for PVP.

What happened?
