Practical effects age better. Compare The TRex in Jurassic Park vs any of the effects George Lucas added to Star Wars. Even with 5 more years of computer advancement the TRex looks great today and the special editions look like bantha dung.
Jurassic Park’s T-Rex also used CGI. This video explains a little.

Good CGI is wonderful as are good practical effects. A great team working together from the start so results look believable is key.
Bad CGI often comes from not preparing scenes ahead of time to include it.

The CGI that removed cars in the background will still have removed cars in the background and you wouldn’t have noticed.
That’s true. I was speaking more to additive CGI.
Removal is additive.
They have to add stuff to where the cars are. If they only removed the car there would be a blank spot where the car was.
You won’t believe how much is invisibly added digitally in seemingly simple movies these days.
Ageing badly fascinates me because the effect itself doesn’t change, our perception of it does.
My memories of Morrowwind are of an amazing landcape; but if I fire it up I’m looking at a bunch of dingy polygons.

Indeed compare the original Star Wars 3 films compared to episodes 1, 2, 3.
The practical effects are much more seamless
