Because people are nostalgic about time in high school and thats time period they remember most fondly, their first love and all that jazz.
Why would you think people want to watch shit about people their age necessarily? Old people dont want to watch shit about old people.
It's escapism and fantasy for people, its themes dont have to be relevant to your life today.
Also it sounds like youre just talking about some random shounen like Naruto, which shows your lack of experience in the medium.
There is more to success of Kimetsu no Yaiba, than being popular among teenagers.
adult-oriented ones arent necessarily more popular among adults than anime aimed at younger audience. Adult-oriented ones simply have a higher barrier of entry.
The humor of wotakoi isnt necessarily more mature than a normal highschool romcom. That show is shoujo/josei through and through, so youre not even the target audience. Its audience is same as fruits basket.
