It’s easier to paint on a blank canvas then to paint over something that’s already there.
Kid’s brains are like empty sponges, they soak up everything. But there is always a limit to how much data our brains can process and remember.
By the time your a fully grown adult, your mind needs to make room for new information. It’s not like a literal 1 for 1 trade. O I learned this but I forgot this.
It’s more like bringing in a new piece of furniture so you have to rearrange the whole room to make it fit. Rearranging that room is tough on your brain and that’s where the difficulty stems from.

Because your brain is getting bigger, so it can fit more ideas. I’m old, my brain stopped growing so if I want to learn something new I have to push ideas out to make space. That’s harder.

In your brain you have lots of cells called neurons. These receive inputs (sensory inputs like sight, sound, smell, touch would be an example) and depending on how they’re structured they might send an output. They can also make connections to other neurons to form clusters of neurons, allowing for more nuanced outputs.
Developing brains are more neuroplastic, meaning they it is easier for the brain to reorganize itself by creating new neural links, or strengthening/weakening old ones. It’s a myth that neuroplasticity stops after 25 when your brain is done developing, but it does slow down so learning new skills will probably be harder.
However, many things can be easier to learn as an adult because you have more per-requisite knowledge and a framework for how the world functions.
