25 soon to be 26, my family liked to camp out in the Mojave when I was a kid so I do know how to use them but even for me I am far more familiar with stereos .
Fair enough but I ain’t using the radio element most of the time. I’m using the 8 track, cassette, record, or CD players not really a radio guy it’s been shit for my entire life.
Actually that changed quite a long time ago. Even when FM radio was still a thing, most “receivers” stopped including radio and “tuners” became on external component that not everybody bought. I think our “stereo” in the 80’s had a stand-alone tuner even. That is for a real “stereo”. Boom boxes and the like had it all built in.
The other factor of course is that tuners went digital. Most factory car stereos continue to include digital tuners even today.

The two aren’t mutually exclusive. Most stereos had tuners.
