I think it's because adults, who are generally conscious and reasonable, don't tend to lecture younger and less conscious people.

For example, the typical reaction to poor service in a restaurant is not to give the waiter a lecture, but to leave without tipping and exclude that restaurant from the list of future visits.

Of course, there are exceptions. I, for example, spend my time and energy on preaching; I simply enjoy it (although in a restaurant, I act according to the scheme described above, while someone else might do the opposite).

The rest looked at all this nonsense and decided – no way, we weren't born in a trash can to allow all sorts of strange personalities with questionable adequacy to boss us around.
