If you have all the kid related packs, especially Parenting, it probably won't seem quite so easy. They have to keep that in mind for balancing purposes. If, say, you only have basegame and Seasons, then yeah. Of course, then there's other things like GT clubs they might be a part of too.
The scouting thing is less about the completion of it and more about giving a good purpose to skilling kids up, beyond just the skill grind. At least that's how I see it. It's like irl, a kid is more likely to do some activity or chore, if there's incentive for them to. More immersive that way, I think.
I also hope that by having this system now in game, it could lead to others like it. Maybe other 'activities/jobs' for kids (and teens especially).
