Had the same thought today: a 16 yo stopped me in the street to sign me up to a charity and was honestly the best salesperson I've met in a while. I told him I'll recommend him to one of our portfolio companies' sales teams because he'll definitely have more fun/learn more there!

LS is sounding sadly desperate here. Their central issue is that most people can't afford 6 months full-time without a credible promise of a job at the end. But tech companies are so powerful now, they don't have to promise or invest anything.

It's true that eliminating high school would give 14-year-olds the ability to spend 6 months on this program. Even then, I would recommend all of them do mainline LS instead. (If I had learned this all when I was 14, I'd have a better job now.)
