Yes, dude, that's why it's legal. What you've done is show that despite the symmetry, one is legal and one isn't.
Yes, there are valid reasons to discriminate against young people. (Being paid less isn't one of them though, that's a point in their favor).
I don’t think this is the retort you were intending.
