Supposedly, this is because the book is actually aimed at much more inexperienced - and sheltered? - "young adults".
No big issue is debated that hasn't been debated already. However, in general, there is little here that an aware, experienced true "adult" would find beyond what can be found easily in real life. Also, throughout the book, he sprinkles a number of truly beautifully written moments - moments that could only have worked so well if the characters had been so finely crafted. (By the way, why do YA titles almost always center on teenagers rather than young "adults"?) The author does a good job of crafting a number of very memorable significant and not so significant characters who stand out on their own. It is also at this point the author reveals the book is indeed of the "young adult" genre. The author weighs one event against the other in the novel's community. It is also a catalyst for what could be argued is an equally significant event that follows almost immediately. The first is a logical culmination of what has been laid out to that point. Roughly a third of the way through this book, two major events happen. In this story of a small forest town, Fredrik Backman has found the entire world. This is a story about a town and a game, but even more about loyalty, commitment, and the responsibilities of friendship the people we disappoint even though we love them and the decisions we make every day that come to define us. Accusations are made and, like ripples on a pond, they travel through all of Beartown. Under that heavy burden, the match becomes the catalyst for a violent act that will leave a young girl traumatized and a town in turmoil. All the hopes and dreams of this place now rest on the shoulders of a handful of teenage boys.
