I'm Italian and it's mandatory to learn how to drive stick in order to get a license. This could explain why we think driving at 16 is absurd: it would probably be difficult for a 16 years old to learn stick.
Why would it be difficult? Children can play complex video games and handle the controllers perfectly - why should a manual stick be too complex for teenagers?
Because you have to both learn how to move your car among complex traffic and learn how to operate the clutch pedal and the shift.
That's why you learn how to operate clutch and shifting in areas where there isn't much traffic - at least that was the case for me
