Do any still use an older high end tuner from the past?....

Magnum Dynalab - I sent my FT101a, made in the mid 1990's, in for service and could not be more pleased with it now that it’s back. It is their goal to serve customers for the long term. They still service their original FT101 tuners introduced in 1985 and if you still have one they will take it on trade against any of their current line. They have a customer waiting list for these vintage tuners. They offer a flat rate service policy for all of their basic analogue tuners up to the model 107. The $150.00, lifetime, service fee covers all internal parts except tubes and exterior cosmetic issues or meters and switches.

I own a McIntosh MR78 which I purchased new in 1972. Couple years ago sent it to factory for
refurbishment; hadn't used it for approx. 20 years. Having taken on a new wife/home, my audio system was relegated to mancave in basement. I had anticipated needing to install cabling to an outdoors antenna; tried a rabbitears just for kicks and tuner brought in local stations wonderfully. Talk about sensitivity!

Since fm is no longer analog through, what sense does it make?

FM is still analog, even though most stations rely on digital sources. But there are exceptions, including live broadcasts.

... I do enjoy cousin Brucie on Sirius XM. Anyone heard a magnum dynalab XM?

If you enjoy XM, you'll get a much higher bitrate and higher fidelity from its online stream than is available from "the birds."

Don't know if considered high end, but my Pioneer TX-9100 is a cherished, if seldom used, tuner.
