So it’s okay to refer to something as childish but not as grown up?

  It's okay to refer to capabilities that should be expected of everyone as "grown up", and falling short of those standards as "childish". It is harmful to extend that to specialized skills, because it leads people to forget that they are specialized skills that aren't going to be learned through mere maturation (and that their lack doesn't necessarily imply immaturity).
