I think it's just "target audience".
Not all movies are for kids, not all video games are for kids.
But after working at a movie theater, I have found many people will bring their kids to see a hard-R rated movie. I don't know why, obviously I can't gauge the maturity of the kid, but I doubt a 6-9 year old is mature enough for some of the ultra-violent, high-sex content R movies out there.
Parents don't give a shit about ratings, because they have a sense of entitlement that everything should just exist for their kids. They don't understand that some things are "adults-only" and some places should be "adults-only" (hint: go to an extremely expensive upscale restaurant, listen for the extremely loud and messy table with the screaming toddlers, and watch the parents FREAK OUT when the waitstaff asks for them to calm the fuck down)
