My dad's, he's 56, and there's lots of elderly forumeanger who still rode with a fixed wheel.
My grandfather used to, till he's in his 80's and rode his old road bike with a flipped drop bar.
thing is - it's not as hard as it sound, methinks you're exaggerating to the point of it sounding impossible to master, it's not.
There's no rules that you have to ride a fixed wheel brakeless/with front brakes, can be ridden with a pair, in fact, fixed wheel + two brakes is extremely underrated.
