I share your concerns, and imo it's an actual problem/bottleneck (See Anya Hunt's post on recruitment at OP). I think the reason for student focus is because there is some data that younger people are more likely to be highly engaged/take the ideas more seriously than older people, but I think those data reflect the fact that there havent been good/heavily resourced efforts to change the careers of older people. In policy, it's easy to hop around in your career, so DC is a ripe city for this type of outreach, as is London.

I don't understand why this was downvoted. I really liked this post but the title was misleading.

Thanks for doing this work but I dont have the patience to read entirely. What is it you found exactly? please put at the top of the summary

Excellent! So. so glad you did this!
