It might, but PC would definitely have its share of older gamers. MMORPGs for an example, attract them. I believe the oldest I ran into in my Runescape days was over 70. Of course that's if you believe peoples' claimed ages.
My girlfriends 70 year old nana plays horizon zero dawn on PS4, in her words "i die a lot but I'm enjoying it"
According to the article: not really, the vast majority of them prefer single player.
Pretty much all MMORPGs nowadays can be played solo.
Minecraft has a surprisingly large chunk of older players too.
