ELI5:Why do we shelter kids from what the real world is like instead of teaching them the reality of it?

We try to make everything fair, everyone gets a trophy, nobody fails a grade, teach them not to judge things at face value.

Then they grow up watching adults act as hypocrites and slowly realized the reality of how the world actually works.

Because life in reality is extremely complicated. Children's ability to comprehend the world around them is something that develops gradually as they age. So we simplify things greatly at first and gradually expose the child to the real world more and more as they become more capable of understanding it.
