I have only two data points supporting this hypothesis -- me, and my grandson. So this is just FWIW: The (or at least much of the) allure of amateur radio lies in doing something yourself and seeing it actually work. >From DIY circuit design and construction to pruning the SWR out of a Vee in a tree to a strategy that nets a clean sweep in the SS, that satisfaction is universal, though possibly the more challenging the better. As a communications medium per se, radio is passe'. Let's not waste the energy fighting that. As a source of "Holy S, it works!", amateur radio has the potential to be as challenging and satisfying as any other. Maybe that's an attractant to sell.
