Yah. I think moreover that low-drama relationships have more appeal to older people. Partly, this may be the triumph of experience over propaganda; the culture tends to idealize high-drama relationships because they make good stories, and because the outward appearance of drama is easier to portray as representing deep emotion.
Experience tends to teach that current drama is not unlike earlier drama, can and should be dealt with accordingly. And older people just have less energy to waste.
Also, I blame hormones. They really do seem to encourage drama.
But I'm totally with you regarding preference. Some people seem to have made drama a lifestyle choice.
