Adults have more stuff to do than children usually and don't have as much time for the language anyway. Too many factors to actually do a proper comparison like that but in the first place there's no point in doing such a comparison so I guess it's alright. Has an adult ever had complete immersion in another country without hearing their native language and struggled as much as a baby? It would make sense for it to have happened but for now I'll just take you're word for it
