Meh. He’s the same age as the current US president and rather close to the prior. Warren Buffet, sharp as a tack at 91, just wrapped up another Berkshire Shareholder meeting. Jump appears to be very much in the wrong here, but I don't think we need to characterize this as the domain owner is feeble-minded or out of touch: the guy has owned a domain since 1994.
similarly I don't think it's reasonable to compare every 79 year old with two people that have had the most privileged lives imaginable.
it's extraordinarily common to live to a healthy old age when you have teams of people coordinating your schedules, traveling teams of chefs and nutritionists available to define your diet to the gram, and an accompanying traveling medical staff wherever you may need to go.
79 years old for those of us that had less glamorous lives can be * a lot * older than you'd imagine when comparing them to others -- to such a degree that age as a comparison is wildly speculative at some point.
I would say it's just lucky genetics. Anyone who doesn't develop dementia and/or heart disease or something like that by age 70, is likely to live a very long time.

It's just another example of an asshat corporation doing asshatery. Would the story be any different if it was a 59yo? 49yo? 39yo? No. Corp is an asshat in every example age offered.
When I was younger my version of an old man was anyone over 30. I kept upping it the older I got.
I used to throw around the "Don't trust anyone over 30."
Now that I'm much older, I still don't trust most old adults, and I'm one now.
Looking back my definition of old is more akin to being wealthy, sneaky, money grubbing, shifty dude. The kind of guy who uses lawyers, instead of a handshake.
It's crazy but in my mind the "old man" is the guy running this crypto company.
