It’s difficult for people to understand now, but that used to be considered adulthood.

I’m old, and my parents were old when I was born. My aunts and uncles would have been born from 1905 to the early 1930s. Most of them finished school at grade 8 at 13 or 14 and moved from home shortly after. By 16 it was common to be living in a boarding or rooming house and working a job. The invention of “teenager” as a distinct phase of life is largely a post-second world war phenomenon and is inextricably linked to the change of literacy from grade 8 to a highschool education, and now college. Along with that educational shift there has been a change in what we consider a “child”.

Yes it has. But species survival is more important.

There is almost no genetic diversity among them. You can skin graft or transplant organs between any two cheetahs without fear of rejection.

Why does anyone care? The only issue I could see is if you want to change your name to “Tom Cruise” or “Elon Musk” for the purpose of perpetrating fraud. Otherwise who cares? That’s the whole point of being able to change your name.
