You have too many variables: age of the listener, current fashions in music, young artists who don't publish on media, available income versus age, catalogue of the streaming services etc.
All music stands or falls by sales and it's probably just a balancing that much old music is still considered good. There is also much old music that is crap. Recorded music has been around a long time so you would expect 'new music' to only represent a small proportion of the total.

There is that
Another of his articles goes on to point out some music lives as long as the people that were around when it first came out. With the exception of some old blues and Glenn Miller my interests only start around 1963

With the exception of some old blues and Glenn Miller my interests only start around 1963 I found myself exploring a lot of the early artists of the last century For instance Kouis Armstrong phrasing lays down a foundation to follow and build from. Those us deeply into music will always explore However I also love discovering new music

There is more old, but by and large, it dies off with the generation that grew up with it.

I would say that these examples are of a few enthusiasts preserving a tiny bit of old music in the face of a never ending tsunami of new production.
