In general I agree. Except new coins are much less likely to be attacked, because people routinely use HD wallets these days, so long-range attacks wouldn’t work. There only the short-range attack targeting the funds while they’re in the mempool would be a concern.
It’s primarily old coins in wallets with long-exposed pubkeys that would be first attacked.
