...as much as we diss bodybuilding, that it's a very age friendly way to lift. Sets of ~10 at ~70% sounds quite like something that is able to be done long term (and not coincidentally also fits in with Meffetone's stuff when you look at HR, but also Dan's stuff about Easy Strength when you compare intensity). I think we'll see a lot of 60-70 year olds able to bodybuild, but not so many olympic lifting or doing Crossfit.
Quick lifts and Crossfit are tough on older guys, but there have been a fair number of us who were able to keep powerlifting into our late 60s.
You're right about bodybuilding. If volume and intensity are modified in accordance with what your body is telling you, you can keep it up until you are on the other side of the grass.
