It certainly wasn't true for me and my friends growing up.It wasn't true for my niece, who heard about D&D via Stranger Things (I was ready to assist, but was never in a position to do so before the interest faded).I'm not sure what leads you to assume all the sources you allude to aren't available to young people. Stranger Things, Youtube, BG3, the D&D movie and general D&D merch are all ways that young people can become interested in RPGs without needing to be introduced by a knowledgeable mentor.This might be true, but you haven't provided a shred of evidence for either of these claims and I'm not ready to just accept them because you assert that they're true.</blockquote>
