Actually not quite true. I have to fly DME arcs, procedures, circling approaches and even NDB's quite regularly, there are still many parts of Europe (and the world) without radar and ILS on every runway.
Many 'newbys' that only fly within Europe are unlikely to appreciate DME arcs, and the very many destinations in (for example, Africa) which don't have radar.
I suspect they might have a fit without radar vectors...OMG!, I actually have to navigate and fly the aeroplane...what a nightmare!
