An adult who plays Roblox can spend much more money on it than a kid getting some Robux for Christmas

There are several surprisingly good horror games my daughter likes to play with me.

Roblox is mostly trash content form my perspective, but there are definitely gems in terms of playability.

The number of young adults (18-30) who still play children's video games has always been astonishing to me. We live in a Peter Pan world these days.

Roblox has lasted so long because it's not a specific game which is only relevant to a particular audience, it's a platform for whoever the users are to create and share games/content with others.

I never really liked it because of the virtual economy aspect, but the only link between Discord having quests on Roblox or adults playing Roblox and kids is that's the majority of the userbase and therefor content, not that it's only for kids.
