Galaxy brain shit. The problem is that young people don't vote. Allowing old people to designate a proxy is unlikely to move the needle. This is particularly true in the US because voting is actually pretty hard if you are working class, since you cannot skip work to do it. But whether it is that or just apathy or ignorance, just allowing marginalized voters to pick a younger person to vote for them would probably not work and wouldn't accurately reflect their preferences anyway (since older people still tend to be more conservative all around).
