MTB components have changed dramatically. Entire paradigms have shifted. Number of useful gears for example, let alone the deraileurs. There isn't a part on the bike that isn't completely different from what was 15 years ago. A lot of the older stuff was so "wrong" that even if it is classic, well build and in perfect condition it's just hard to drool over.
second, regarding the frame comment: I said a few posts back that MTB porn from the 90's can really ONLY include [hardtail] frames and tires. But even with that, frames have changed dramatically to fit their intended purpose.
just an opinion.
