... what happens to old photographers when we die ....

Only their prints survive.
Your computer either can't be accessed because no one knows your password or thrown away because it doesn't play the latest games.
Even if someone who knows what they are doing gets them it is unlikely they will continue to back them up and eventually bit rot will make your life's work dust also. Sad but true.
Unless you become famous in your own lifetime then nothing will remain. Many great artists weren't famous in their time.
On the other hand I am putting together an exhibition next month of images taken in our town of Kiama in the 1890's, along with images I have taken now from the same spot. The prints have survived over a hundred years and are have only recently been digitised.
I know a few photographers selling prints at $1000, but not many selling files at that price unless commercially.
