Did someone close to you growing up do science? Many people do not have someone like that. Many people were raised in an area without well-funded education.

My family was very scientifically minded, and it has also taken me many years to realize what 'science' is.

Your comment sounds to me like "I've won the lottery and I don't understand why everyone else hasn't". Yes it is possible to understand a lot of things about science at an early age; however I do not think very many people have a deep enough understanding of sociology to understand all the implications of public discussion of science.
