Best Answer

I suspect it's combination of two things

  1. Older tech is harder to track/copy/leak, so helps keep the information away from law enforcement (not that I really recall seeing any in the movies, other than the guy that visited John's house in the first movie)

  2. An aesthetic choice by the director/writer, it gives the world a unique look and style.
