Literally having a similar conversation with a bathroom fitter today. He doubted I’d notice having an 11mm step up with some 9mm plywood plus LVT fitted on top of the old boards.
The door frame is 193cm and I’m 197cm.

Yup, pre 1960s I guess they just used fairly natural (still farmed) types of pine, not the genetically engineered fast growing stuff we have now that's not far from balsa wood.
Recently had most of a town house worth of it through the woodburner, lots of tar in it. Saved the good length for house fixing, rest had already been zipped into tiny pieces by strip out guys.

With the price of 18mm ply these days there's a bit more encouragement not to throw out the pine floorboards which are often really decent pine by todays standards.
