Obviously if you have been riding since the 80’s and you are averaging around 90, you really have little need to keep track of your cadence.

I went the opposite direction. Had a cadence reading on my computer in the 80’s and haven’t used it since.

Higher cadence can be a double edged sword, it is great for spinning along, but not if you lose power at a lower cadence.

Spinning at 100rpm up a hill at 5mph is not a good thing. Being able to also have power at a lower cadence is better than just spinning your brains out on a climb.
