I agree! I don't actually think that the real folks have much in common with the characters in the fics beyond the superficial surface stuff since we don't actually know these people (and quite frankly I don't really want to meet any of them).
Maybe the ancient's used it as a parenting tool! Like maybe Ancient's whose children were about to reach that age went off world to relearn the challenges of being at such a transistional age or something. Or you could go with the default reason being the Ancients were weird as hell.
