I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

Fair enough, your not a noob or young. But in my opinion and experience, more younger people play as elites because they think aliens are cool. Also I don't think many hardcore players use Elites...
Still I hate them in Matchmaking, but much prefer to kill Elites in campaign and hate the Brutes.
The reason you notice more young, and amateur players as Elites is simple: There are less Elites. That is it, they just seem to stand out more.
Also, the main reason more hardcore players play as Spartans is because MLG only allows them.
Actually, in MY Experience I find that Elite players tend to get alot more into the Lore, Campaign, and Plot of Halo than Spartan players. Myself and many of my friends chose Elites because we honestly feel there History is more interesting, and fun to imagine, than Spartans.
What with the Feudal/Midieval style of technology, Martial, and Meritocratic societal structure, based heavily on Honor, and Pride. They really do have a more Japanese Samurai meets European Knight feel to them. In many ways they are actually far more similar to the Spartans of Greece that Spartan IIs themselves.
