That’s a massively reductionist view of this. Maybe prefrontal development played a role but so many things are part of this you can’t just say the two statements being put: one by OP and one by you.
“Teenagers don’t understand repercussions”
“Teenagers have underdeveloped prefrontal cortex”
These might have been FACTORS in this specific case but the former is not generally true. The latter is true but it’s not the full story. It cannot, on its own, explain why these kids committed a major criminal enterprise.

That is what I take issue with.
