What's the point of that lie though?

Reinforcing stereotypes they believe are true despite lack of evidence.

Like how these same people swore up and down that millenials were lazy, greedy, worthless members of society not 10 years prior. Wasnt true then, isnt true now, but I spent my working years getting an earful of "examples" of why millenials were awful workers.
