Who the Game is Marketed To

Based on being on these forums, Reddit, YouTube, etc., it seems like the community often is annoyed by how childish some of the game is, or at least the lack of some of the more 'mature' forms of humor from previous games. I'm curious, who does EA think the demographic of this game is? Who are they marketing to? Do you feel like you as a player are in the demographic that they are marketing to?

I do feel I am in the demographic because it seems to me they try to include "all" players. They have even brought back classic icons like bonehilda and mrs crumplebottom. I was too young to have remembered them so obviously this was for the nostalgic older players. And a fun bonus for younger players.
I understand they do tend to lean towards younger and newer players but that's just business. That's how business works and you always want to keep a flow of young and new customers to grow your business.
It is also a bit more childish because whoever was in charge at the time when it first came out wanted it to be a "safe space" for "young girls" However, I feel like the sims have made changes since then. And they do try and include all types of players for the most part. Now days it's not childish because the team wants it to be, it's childish because simmers hold it back since they are outraged over every little thing, triggered and cry for nerfs. Everything they add could potentially be seen as offensive.
People think they want something deep, mature and humerous but can't handle it.
The team was even forced to change the name of the insane trait. So now the team has no choice but to keep it in the "safe space" zone. And that makes it seem childish.
It is what it is at this point ?‍♀️ and I just enjoy it for what it is rather than to mope and cry about what it is "not".
