Kids no longer have the time to go out and explore on their own what things matter to them and really move them.

You really need to study history more. For thousands of years, children were required to join the workforce as soon as possible(way before 18 yo). The concept of being able to find yourself is a new and still limited idea.

I’m 50. Back when I was 18 or 19 or so and still “trying to find myself”, I remember my grandmother telling me basically to hurry the hell up. I got the “When I was 18, I was a widow with 3 kids” speech more than once. And it was true. Back then most kids only went to school until 8th grade and then started working.
