I think it's mostly a problem of context and relevance coming from lack of independence in young people today.

When I read a book, it's because I have chosen to read it, I know something about it, I know where it belongs in history, and I believe it either has some relevance to me or I think it will just be entertaining to read.

When a teenager reads a book, it is often assigned, meaning that they do not know about the context of the book, it's often not at all relevant to their life, and is assigned by instructors they might already be inclined to distrust and disrespect. Sometimes the situation is made worse by certain forced critical readings of the book, or a ban on criticizing the book.

I'm not sure calling people who are constantly assigned arbitrary tasks they have little say in and whose bathroom breaks are controlled "emotionally immature" is useful or accurate, and is close to the root of the problem itself.
