The show is weird because like, solving a murder involving someone killing Jedi is kinda cool, lot of stuff can be done with that
Having the story be based around a grooming plotline is a fucking bizarre choice. That throwaway line about Luke being too old to train as a Jedi should never have entered canon because now the Jedi are all creepy as fuck
Not beating the allegations until they come out and say, in actual film dialogue and not in a fucking novelization that literally no one will read, that children are easier to train because of something something neurological development stages and learning to commune with the force being easier before age and experience start clouding your capacity for imagination and therefore connection to the 5-pin DIN MIDI Thru cable or whatever. Hell, that could have been a scene in The Acolyte -- a perfect chance for an outsider to pose the question, "but why children?" with the implication that maybe force witches do things a little differently and don't need to indoctrinate them as kids. It could even have been a brief Qui-Gon/baby Anakin exchange in Phantom Menace. But nah, leave it to George Lucas to not be able to recognize when his characters look like groomers.

Remember Raiders of the Lost Ark? During the pre-production, Lucas and Spielburg had a spirited discussion, with drinks, where they nearly made the Marion character even younger when their protagonist first creeped on her

The magic cops needing to kidnap children and indoctrinate them to train more magic cops was a bad idea all along if I was supposed to like them.

From my point of view, the jedi are evil
Child snatching fits in well with the jedi's role as mind controlling wizard cops actually.
