Children tend to be more intelligent and capable of learning that many adults want to give them credit for. As some pointed out, attention span and patience are usually more of a problem.
You know, I genuinely try not to be the person who quotes people and tries to hit them with silly "gotchas" but I can't look away from the first part of the post here.

No one mentioned ESRB. People mentioned target audience. There's a bit of a difference. When you're critiquing a game or really any media it's necessary to keep the target audience in mind. Obviously the OP tried to separate some bits in their observations that might be due to those reasonings but it's worth keeping in mind. Even though, it might be a tiny bit saddening that most of the game's community is very much like a 9 year old in that they don't want to read.

Also, how to tell someone is American: they have to mention politics at every given opportunity. I can't tell if this is really you, or if you just came here to be contrarian.

It's not the same as being able to clear a solo game by doing that.
Going to second this. Even dodging with trusts is fairly easy. You just follow the trust NPCs. I did all of ShB/EW with trusts, and when I started doing roulettes later I was so clueless for this reason.
