It's got more to do with being legally responsible for your own actions than being mature and responsible even though those tend to go well with each other.
As for sniper rifles and sniping, you don't need a sniper rifle to "get good at sniping". You can and are expected to learn the dynamics of playing the role of a sniper playing airsoft with an AEG. Once you learn all that, you can apply what you learned with a BA sniper rifle. The reason you can't just go ahead and start with a sniper rifle is the same reason you don't learn how to drive in a formula 1 race car. If I must put it in a list, it'd be something like this:
1) You will be put at a major disadvantage as a BA sniper rifle can't out-range an AEG by much if at all and you will get out-gunned by players with an AEG who have a much high rate of fire
2) BA sniper rifles tend to shoot at a higher fps (as measured with 0.20g bbs). You need to know how to avoid hurting those that you shoot at. Most players will not trust you as a new player to handle a BA sniper rifle on the field.
All in all, starting out with a sniper rifle in airsoft is like having your first swimming lesson in rough, ocean waters. It's just extra, un-needed grief.
