I started learning to code in my 30s and I found articles like this very helpful. You're right - why should age matter? But it does, at least in one's own mind. When you've spent your 20s working in a different field, it's very easy to get stuck. It just gets harder and harder to mentally motivate yourself to study something new and pursue a different career. Hearing from other people who have gone through the same struggle tells you that, hey, this is possible! Especially in an industry full of people who have been coding since they were children.
