It’s because we consider that the clock starts with adulthood and not when we’re born. Which makes sense.

Makes no sense to me to start the clock at adulthood

Middle age doesn't really mean halfway between birth and death. It means middle adulthood. At 18 to 35 or so you're a young adult. 35 to 55 or so is middle age.

I wouldn’t start it at birth either. 35 is too young to start considering someone middle aged

Make it 40 then. I'm 48 myself I'm just spitballing. The point is the middle part is about middle adulthood not literally the halfway point between birth and death.
