re: My 20 something year old son couldn’t figure out how to open the car hood

Could be but maybe not. We take things for granted that we as kids had interest in without being told. Opening car hoods, tinkering on cars, etc as a kid came natural to many of us as kids. We just jumped in and did it without asking many questions.

Kids today have no desire to do much that requires hands on work

or you old farts don't realize that work doesn't have to be on a car to be "worthy" of your admiration. I bet the kid could fix your computer based on nothing but curiosity leading them to figure it out.

the interests are still there, they just aren't what you had as a kid so you belittle it.
