My assumption is it's all millenials/younger using their parents' cable subscription

That's not how viewership ratings work. They ask people of different demographics to track what they watch, then they estimate the total viewership based on the smaller sample size. Even if it's the parents' cable subscription, the younger people being tracked would still count towards the younger demographics.

So the average age of Riverdale, Supernatural, The Vampire Diaries and Arrowverse viewers was 58?

Totally. Go to their sub, they talk more about knitting than the shows!

Everyone has back problems and hip replacements.

No, people have just moved on from TV. The real audience for these shows is online through Netflix or piracy.
