Agreed. Also good parents can tell reasonably well when their kids are mature enough to have freedoms, like for some it might be closer to 11, for others closer to 15.
My thought process is “would my kid endorse me having restricted their freedom in this way when they reflect on it as an adult”. I’d make a best-effort prediction of this based on the kid’s personality and qualities.
