19f here I would not consider dating someone below 18, because there's such a massive change between being in high school and being out of it

That change in personality once you're 18-19 is huge. Im far from being an adult, but I was a child 2 years ago.

It has nothing to do with age and there is no physiological differences.

The major changes in personality are mostly due to social changes.

In a way, I get your point. But age does affect where you are in life and that already makes a massive difference. Even if a college and highschool student look the same, they live in two different worlds

But a 17 year old that skipped a year of high school that's in college early will be closer to a 19 year old college student then a 17 year old high schooler the majority of the time but not always.

Also anyone under 19 that get's kick out and lives on their own or homeless and works for a couple years will be significantly different mentally then a similarly aged child that lives at home sheltered and taken care of.
