      I’m willing to go with his organic parts can age .
      It’s not like there were any other examples to really know that he wouldn’t age.

      That specific version of Lore/Data was an organic android that was invented in season 1 of Picard. A totally synthetic mind in totally synthetic body that was organically created. He can full on age and die now and he was plugged into Daystrom for years. My guess is they created him at a certain age and then he just got older while plugged in.

          HEAVY SPOILERS BELOW FOR ALL DATA STUFF

          TNG Data died in Nemesis. In Season 1 of Picard its said they were able to rebuild his positronic net and that he’s been active inside of a simulation for ages. He’s bored fucking senseless and is the founding basis of a new species of organic androids. He asks Picard to kill him by just turning off the simulation and shutting him down. Picard does so.

          In Season 3 of Picard they find one of those organic androids but its Data. He was built seperate from the simulation version. An attempt was made to join Lore and Data into one body which failed on its own. Data eventually fixes the problem himself and ends up as a fully organic android. He’s a real boy now. He was feeling emotions and having gut instincts. Was aging and had no problem with it. Made jokes. Used contractions. Full culmination of his story. I loved it.
