Others have doubted the 21 year figure being appropriate for humans but I think the 100 year figure is ridiculous for elves. It’s based on the assumption that age of maturity and total lifespan are always preserved in an exact ratio across different species, when this is demonstrably not the case.

Whats's even funnier is that Pathfinder 2e has an "Ancient Elf" heritage, and the guidelines state that it's at least 100 years old

I think it’s one of those things where they don’t want you playing a 16 year old elf because reasons.

Just like how you need to use fantasy names rather than normal names like Steve or Tiffany.

Does it matter? If we used maturity as a measure, I would still be unable to drink.

I’m talking about physical maturity, not emotional maturity (which is greatly influenced by environment).

Im that case, should have been drinking at 14, because I'm as hairy as a chimp.
