Do people still play 1.7.10 and 1.12.2 nowadays?

Im a big fan of 1.7.10 and 1.12.2 but whenever i explore the modded minecraft community these versions are very rarely talked about.

What gives? Has the community shrunk down? Is it because most of the community only ever played modern versions?

Are there any "modern" version expert tech packs with E2E-like progression?

I feel like every tech modpack I'm seeing for modern version is dumbfounded...

They always contain that one god damn mod....>! Create!<

And seem to look same-ish ;-;

I need something reminding older modpacks, like GTNH, E2E, DJ2, or MBC (yea, I know it's not that old), but on modern version. I want to have hope it can work like old masterpieces.
