Because I understand that my pedosexuality has to do with unresolved childhood issues that prevented me from "maturing" in certain ways. That's why I'm still only attracted to children (the age I was when I got "stuck") and not adults. So if you have to be "mature" yourself in order to be physically attracted to adults, how can any actual children can be physically attracted to adults?

Maybe that's how it is for you, but personally, I think a lot of people around here would say the reason has more to do with this:

Little girls are just hot.

'nuff said.

It comes down to aesthetics (which vary vastly from person to person), what sort of dynamic is preferred, etc etc etc... on and on.

Just 'cause your attraction works a certain way doesn't mean that's how all attractions are formed.

And one thing that I’ve noticed -- kids who don’t grow up to be pedosexual tend to have their AoA change on the lower end -- it gets higher -- rather than the higher end -- which stays high and continues higher as the person ages. The average pubescent child finds adults at least mildly crush-worthy, and sometimes younger children do as well; one’s sexual orientation is apparent from the get-go in many cases.

For me, it’s always been older guys that I’m attracted to. It’s everything about them. Younger men/teen boys don’t do much for me physically -- they seem too soft. Their edges are too smooth, physically and emotionally.

Whereas little girls, they’re soft on the outside, but they’re like lightning. They seem like little forces of nature to me.

It might be my imagination -- maybe the attraction came first, and then I attributed all these positive (or what I think of as positive) traits to the age groups I like. I don’t know. Either way, it makes me happy, and I wouldn’t change it, and I’m not going to question it. I like what I like, and I don’t care if it makes sense to anyone else.
