Yes, but they would also be in your house without help. A house probably worth 6 figures with no resources on their own save "family in town."
It's different than college where they are in a room that you don't have to worry about with resources the minute they step out of their dorm room.
I'd want my kid to be able to drive to a doc for illness, to get a prescript if needed, to get food if it runs out, to call a plumber if the bathroom toilet starts leaking everywhere, etc, etc. Anything that could go wrong for themselves or property in a 6 figure house (and some folks on here, it might be 7), that they would be an adult to handle.
PS - Not to mention, if something went wrong, and then police/social media get involved, I wouldn't want to explain why I left my 14/15/16 year old home alone so I could go do X.
