Why are people still, after all these years, holding onto this dumb fuck convention that the flow of current is opposite to that of the flow of electrons?

because it doesnt make a lick of a difference, mathematically, and all the theory surrounding basic electronics was put together before we knew what an electron was

Electron is marked as negative charge so it makes sense to put positive calculation flow towards its flow.

To be fair, time is a man-made construct to try and understand something that we have no idea about. It's a very geocentric view, but seeing as it makes sense for everyone, we use it. Once we eventually all die out or enter space travel, we'll have to use something else.
