It's not literally the age that's the issue, it's just a correlation. Some employers want people they can squeeze more easily and get the most juice out of.

Younger people are more likely to accept orders without push back. Accept lower pay. Work 60+ hr/week for crunch time, etc.

Depends on the employer of course. Google employs an 80+ year old Ken Thompson.
