Glad I’m not the only one. Even after I eventually realised it’s the age rating and not the age of the app itself, I still find myself constantly forgetting this because it’s so unintuitive.
There is something about the way it’s presented (or maybe a bug in my brain) that keeps reading it as the age of the app.
(And IMHO that would be a lot more useful thing to show in that prominent position too)
emotional brainwashing(entertaintment, fear etc) people to buy stuff that they don't need. taking advantage of people's weakness. it's not like "this is our product, this is what it does, and this is the price of it" instead "your neighbour has this cool stuff but you don't means you are lesser person if you don't buy also", "if you don't buy this stuff, you won't get a girlfriend and die alone", "if you don't buy this stuff, you will miss out amazing opportunity of becoming rich and stuck as poor"
