It is not an advantage to have programming be a field where the bragging rights go to those who put together a D&D weather generator in a true Mini-computer in Middle School.
Careful, this could be similar to saying that it's not advantageous to have mathematics be a field where people who prove non-trivial theorems in high school do better in university courses.
Some people have prior background or a special talent and that's not a bad thing. It's just important that this is also not required to succeed in the given field.
