A significant number of people never become truly responsible adults. Even just narrowing it down to political engagement, lots of voters are poorly informed about the issues they vote on.
Even if you disenfranchise young people there will be countless stupid, ignorant and hateful people voting. Even worse, they'll mostly have the biases of old people because you'll have entirely removed the opposing biases of young people.
Finally, on a personal note, I was working and paying taxes from the age of 16. No taxation without representation.
