I think the idea is that the majority of the consumers and viewers of anime and manga are teenagers. To pull in that audience, the characters would have to be relatively the same age for the audience to relate to those characters.
And for the older audience, it is a form of escapism back to the days of their youth where all they had to worry about was their love life and school exams instead of taxes and toxic work culture and societal norms and their love life.
well and they got into anime when they were in high school. I don't understand the ask though as not all anime is full of high schoolers. Its like saying something about music that only applies to pop music.
