I came to think about that too. I have a few theories about M which is for 17+ and AO which is 18+
1. Most stores dont even carry adult so it harder to get ahold of. They are not worried about the 17 or 18 year olds but rather before the big WalMarts and Targets started to ID whenever a M game was scanned, any kid with 50 bucks could easily get the game themselves.
1.5 Also Parents teld to get all these games at Walmart and Target. If they were to go onto any gamer website and buy the game then they would see its Adults Only and more likely than not no get it for them.
2. 18 year olds tend to hang out with older crowds. Sure they might be seniors in high schoool for a little bit but that extra year from 17 to 18 is a big difference in who they hang out with. Less chance from getting a game from a senior from a junior (note I said LESS chance, its not bulletproof Same reason for the alcohol age)
