You might also be discounting a generational change. My coworkers in the city don't let their kids under 13 walk around in the city by themselves either. We often coordinate when we all are planning on doing stuff with our kids, so slack coverage is always 100%

Agree with you on generational difference.

40 years ago I walked to school, played in parks, rode my bike with friends.

Now my grandchildren would be confiscated by Child Protective Services and their parents face prison if anyone under 13 isn't accompanied at all times, both inside and outside their homes, by an adult.
