They are making accessible to younger generations - many regional doofs and burn adjacent events I have been to are all ages, existing members bring their kids.

If you are asking why they don't go out of their way to advertise to outsiders, it's because these events do not scale well, and what they absolutely do not want are thousands of insta/tiktok tourists who don't contribute back to the scene or bring extra scrutiny from police.

Nailed it all around. I see lots of small kids at the things. Whatever mental image people have of raves, everyone looks out for the little ones. We want them to have fun in a safe environment. There are tons of 20-somethings having a good time in perhaps a higher production quality setting than they’d normally be around.

The last things we want are people doing stupid crap to make the law have to come around, or to make it all about themselves at the expense of others’ enjoyment.
