Its anecdotal at best. Its like if someone was saying “we should give kids school lunch so they preform better at school” and then I replied “I didnt have school lunch and I got top my class” you’d think ok that changes nothing.
There is a lot of research to support the idea that adults are less likely to pick up a skill if they weren’t exposed to it as a kid. If you dont grow up working with technology to make things you’re less likely to go down that route as an adult or late teen. Thats a huge disadvantage in today’s age.
