You can swing that two ways:

-Older electronics are electrically less clean than modern electronics when it comes to (presumably) forcing noise back upstream on the AC line or EMI shielding.

-Modern electronics (and supposedly telecommunication equipment) are so cost reduced that they cannot handle abnormal line or environmental conditions.

I tend to disagree with the first statement from all the noisy switch mode supplies in modern gear.... but then again "old TV" in the vernacular these days includes switch mode supply sets 70s and newer.
