Is there a disadvantage to growing up in high altitude?

And living there full time? Less oxygen to the brain, etc? Or is it something your body adjusts to easily? II understand why it would be great for training short term, but I'm talking about someone living there most their life.

This is not the case. Higher altitude just has less pressure so one has to actively breath a bit harder to bring that air into the lungs.

Slightly greater exposure to cosmic rays. IIRC living in Denver is equal to a couple of chest x rays a year.

Complete guess, but maybe smaller bodies? Less Oxygen in the body would mean smaller muscles. No clue.

The Oxygen level is lower but over time your body will make more red blood cells to carry more O2 around.
