That really is dependent on how old you are. As you age, you want to build and maintain enough strength to keep yourself mobile even as your body ages and degrades. Strength training, particularly full-body barbell workouts, can't really be beaten in that regard.

Sure cardio is still important. But it doesn't do the same job. You need both cardio and strength training. And cardio can be really cheap - buy some shoes and run outside or on a treadmill at home.

There's no point to gyms with 100 treadmills and almost strength equipment. The priorities are way too distorted
