Is it just because that’s when you’re done with high school? College is still fairly “expected”, so why isn’t that counted?
I don’t understand why most/a lot of cultures view 18 as that turning point, even though we know the brain isn’t even fully developed until 25.

Mostly because that’s what it is in America, and Americans love to have their standards apply everywhere, even in the countries where students complete school and begin work/college at earlier ages such as 16.
For example, I got downvoted for suggesting that a 16 year old in a different country could be a legal adult because it’s a different country.
Edit: Modern left-wingers, especially younger ones, seem to love that “25” number, yet I don’t see any of them willing to postpone their right to vote, or their right to own property, or their right to enter into contracts, etc . until that age. So to me it really seems like a case of some people wanting to have their cake and eat it too. **Same age for all rights.**
