Well anime is marketed to children. You can beat your chest and say that in Japan its content for all ages and plenty of adults in the US watch it, but it is none-the-less marketed to children. And children have the same access to it as an adult does. Also, the anime industry and adult fans are both complicit in obfuscating what exactly Anime is from parents. They sell parents on Dragon Ball and Naruto and then when they leave their kids to watch their little Japanese cartoons they end up watching shit about a mf sexually preying on his prepubescent sister that draws porn, and any other number of degenerate things. And you know all of the things so I don't have to bother listing them. But then all of you adult fans and the industry again are quick to throw out Bleach and One Piece as a smokescreen so that parents drop their guard, knowing theres plenty of content not appropriate for kids and its all packaged under the same umbrella of "Anime". A parent can tell at a glance that they don't want their kids watching that stupid ass Euphoria shit. A parent can tell at a glance for most content produced in the US whether they want their children watching it. A parent cannot tell with "Japanese cartoons" unless they watch the whole shit beforehand. They don't even come with parental guidelines or age ratings in Japan. They just make the shit and let the people deal with it, and that's not how it works in the US and has never been how it works in the US. They even have to cobble together some age rating whole-cloth for releasing the shit in the US, and often those age ratings then get adjusted higher afterwards
