I do believe that grooming is a thing with older individuals. The sexual predator uses trust, fear, and alienation in order to coerce people into a bad situation, it happens a lot. Additionally, it is much easier for old, and more importantly powerful industry people to groom people a la Dan the Foot Man in Nickelodeon.
However, grooming is often defined in relation to children, not adults, and someone being old does not turn them into a groomer. Old people can and do get attracted to younger people and vice versa. Grooming can be an issue in relationships with age gaps, but conflating that to include any relationships between adults with age gaps is similar to stating sex is always rape because rapists engage in sex.
