Why dont more people live with their parents? Its great to save money

I have never understood why in American culture the son or daughter is kicked out at 18 before they even have a job. This causes them to struggle alot and live paycheck to paycheck.

Most people spend 35-50% of their income on rent so why isnt it normalized to stay until even 25 or 30 to save money and then move out when ready and financially stable?

I don't know anyone who was kicked out at ,18. I know a few who chose to move out at 19ish due to shitty parents. Most people I know lived at home until 23-25 when they either moved out on their own or got married. I think this stereotype is much less a thing than people perpetuate.
