It's the cultural narrative of where adulthood begins these days.

Childhood has been extended through your 20s.

it used to be 18 in the 1950s.

    Current cultural narrative
    Baby: 0–6
    Kid: 7–29
    Adult: 30–39
    Old: 40–49
    Ancient decrepit mummified creature: 50–120

    There's a small window between 30 and 40 that is considered ideal. Everything else suffers from some kind of ageism
