I doubt many make that claim but there is merit to it. Considering zoomers have less self-control so they may not spend an hour or more trying to solve a puzzle that they can solve with a quick google search. It breaks any puzzle game and is instantly boring.
I do like puzzle games but I can see why they don't work for zoomers.
That's just old Reddit run-ins with Souls fanbois from years ago coming back. There at least was a certain (likely small) subset of them that define difficulty as if-and-only-if reflex timing. I tried to get them to play The Witness and look up nothing but never any takers.
Yeah I can't imagine my cousin spending much time on a puzzle before running to Youtube. I guess he's a zoomer if they haven't made up a new group yet. He's a teenager. He's way smart enough to figure it out but lacks the patience to try. I've had to talk him out of cheating some too. I'll cheat, it can be fun, but it can be the last 15 minutes you ever play of a game too.
I know of the "if you did not beat dark souls you are not a true gamer" phase. That was so cringe.
For your second part, with your cousin is unfortunately true for all kids. I'm sure I would have done the same at his age.
