I think you’re missing the point (but possible I am).
My understanding is that OP is proposing that since the grandparents would be raising the kids, this would incentivize people to have kids much younger, e.g. in their early 20s, or even teens.
So the “grandparents” would be in their early/mid 40s, or even late 30s.
Definitely not “old people”.
And zero experience parenting, yes (just like any new parent today), but definitely more life experience, and likely more mature.
Not saying I’d advocate for this — I think there are still some flaws with this — but an interesting hypothetical that’s fun to discuss.
