To further expand on deference to authority, I would hypothesize they overall find the bombardment of disparate and frequently contradictory ideas in the west a little confusing, and potentially exhausting.

Our elderly that mostly pre-date the information age often face a similar issue. They come from a time when almost all the news sources agreed with each other, more or less.

Just my guess though, I have zero data.

That sentence I just typed is a sound example though, many people all over the world would cock an eyebrow at the need for "data". "Wtf?" would be a common response. It's useful to remember we only think in those terms due to being long-trained in modern STEM and spending our lives around computers. It's very different from our more "natural" state, which is pretty intensely chaotic and adapts itself to the needs of our environment, whatever that is. We all experienced it during childhood. It can go in any direction though, and going in the STEM direction specifically takes years of dedicated effort that only a small minority of the total population seriously attempt.

STEM training also just happens to naturally undermine authoritarian structures, because it directly contradicts the basic principle that the authority, not reality, should be dictating the most fundamental truth. They even frequently describe things in terms of "truths" instead of evidence.
