I didn't read this "parenting" board when I was 27 or I would started my kid later cause the immense knowledge here. But the fact of the matter is parents don't realize that they are doing their child a disservice by starting their child early. But then it's too late cause they get both sides: hold them back will hurt them or don't hold them back hurts them. At that point they just try to find the right time. Sometimes that right time is when it is suggested for athletics.
