As a mod ,this is my logic too. Questions aren’t posted for me to read something new. Questions are posted because (hopefully) the poster wants to learn something new. And new readers might benefit as well.
Plus, if a question were to be repeated by many users over a long period of time, it could always be stickied.
So that in the future somebody asking a question can go read five year old responses? No thanks. Why not encourage new discussion even if the question’s been asked before?
No, because there are always new users who haven’t seen the question yet.

Have a pinned thread with links to those questions.

What’s keeping the responses at 5 years? If there’s a new update to the established answer, the pinned one is the place to update that.
It’s okay for things to be older than 3 months.
Ah. The “eternal September” problem.
