I'm sure the gender expectations have a role, but I think the broader explanation is that there's so much more stuff to occupy mind/time, and a lot of it doesn't involve physical activity. Most of his examples feel pretty clichéd at this point. I'm a little more surprised with the stories I hear about teenagers not being in any particular hurry to get a driver's license. But maybe I shouldn't be. Sinking cash and time into a hooptie that'll never run great, vs Uber. That could be a hard sell for a kid.
