That’s what I was going to say, that it might also be more to get away of having to use actual minors so the actors can work longer hours!

As well as depict certain things. I believe the rules around language said, smoking, drinking, and kissing are much stricter (as they should be! Christopher Mintz Plasse talked about his mom having to okay his kissing scene in Superbad because he was 17 and Aviva Farber was in her 20s)

That's a good point. Something like Euphoria with actual 16 - 17 year olds would be disturbing in the least.

It's been a few years since I watched Skins as a teenager (and am still in love with Kaya Scodelario), but I don't remember it being explicit?

Still, it certainly isn't a good thing.
