Lichess discriminates against older titled players

Lichess states that the only titles it accepts (as listed on lichess.org/verify-title) are those which are awarded by FIDE.

It does not accept, for example, such national titles as Candidate Master titles which have traditionally been awarded by national federations.
And which are perfectly valid in the official world of chess.

Just a moment!.... Isn't, however, that it was only recently, just in 2002, when FIDE started awarding these FIDE CM titles?
Yes.

What about all the people who played at high level before 2002 and after hard work and tested expertise did also achieve the Candidate Master title... but they did all that "before 2002"?...

Well, Lichess doesn't care....

One might say that's unfair and discriminatory - if not blatantly arbitrary and naive.
Yet, in another level, this reveals one of the major problems of online chess platforms:
They believe that chess has been played only in the last two decades...
Somehow they equate chess with internet - and the poverty - or rather prominence - of 'content'

Hey Marcel, wake up - let's go....
What?... Who really cares about Lichess??!....
