Why do computers in movies still make super annoying sounds?

Computers seriously need to stop making cheesy noises in movies.
You know what I'm talking about: the bleeps, the bloops, the loading bars screech, the text scroll chirp. It needs to end.
In the 1980s, and even in the early 1990s, few really knew what a computer was.

The majority of people had slim understanding of what a computer really could do and what it was supposed to sound like when it did impressive things.*
Filmmakers during those decades can be excused for over-exaggerating computer sounds. The bleeps and bloops whenever a computer did anything was exposing an audience to the great unknown.* Read more... (https://mashable.com/2018/05/20/why-do-movie-computers-make-sounds/)
