I think it's a scale issue. If you look at an analog clock and a small child, one second and the child are not that different in size. But an adult is much larger than the entire clock. Therefore, a year, that also is much larger than the clock, is out of scope for the small child, whereas a grow person can barely even see a second because they're so small and you also usually get impaired vision with age.
This answer has big Ken M energy.
I'm enjoying it.
It just makes sense, it's why whales and trains appear to move so slowly their large size, poor vision, and inability to build machines means they never see a second hand tick
