A 20 year old civic probably does get around fine. They are meant to last.

An avid bike rider who rides every day is of course going to want a better bike. But someone who just rides here and there, it is a waste to spend more money than you need for something you may not use that much.

My Yamaha scooter cost $1500, and I ride it every day. Paying that for a bicycle that I only ride 2 or 3 times a week (max) isn't logical. But I can easily see how someone who rides seriously and does so often, would want the best bike he could afford.
