Goemon being tech savvy is either a funny joke or terrible writing.

In this context I'm leaning towards the former.

It's an old, old, OLD joke to have the person who seems least likely to know about modern technology actually be the only one who knows how to actually use it, so it's really not that surprising to see the ad go in that direction.

Except Lupin has done way more complicated tech stuff in the series than using a McDonald’s App.

Character development! After Part 5, he must've gotten better at using smart phones.

Or Fujiko instructed him how to use it to make sure Lupin doesn't screw up her order.

It amazes me Lupin can exist in a world with Detective Conan in 1996, and they have smart phones.

Just because Goemon’s a living throwback doesn’t mean he can’t learn how to use modern tech.
