And just how far do you think extended adolescence should last? People have to start transitioning into adulthood and preparing for career and life at some point, even if they aren't fully mature and ready for it.

Voting, drinking, signing contracts, joining military, count as a dependent on insurance, buy a gun, rent a car... We don't seem to be able to decide, as a culture, when a person is responsible for themselves.
