“Since they turned 18” also seems needlessly specific.

I assume they don't want to open a can of worms regarding childhood abuse. Doesn't seem needless

Two consenting 16 year olds having sex is neither child abuse, nor illegal in the UK.

Is there something in the graph that suggests it's from the UK?

The UK isn't the only country where this is the case. I would've assumed it was legal in the US too.

the age of sexual consent varies between 16 and 18 in the US
