That's done on purpose, to avoid what happened to Facebook: swarmed by old people, and then deemed uncool. Snapchat is teen territory.

Surely their advertising target value is next to nothing, what with no income

If personal income mattered, then Saturday morning cartoons would never have been a thing. (they can still pester their parents)

I guess that gets rid of the generation that wants to install new social media apps but doesn't know how to google for things.

It's not like there's a big divide in generations... you go to a high school, there's people in an age range, and you can very well teach someone who is one year younger than you how to use something. Rinse and repeat.

I don’t believe that is the common usage of the term generation.

A generation typically involves a period of time at least as long as the organism takes to reach sexual reproductive age.
