While I do agree that older individuals place a higher value on their time, you also have to counter that with the fact that posting one's age is not an entirely time consuming task.
I would personally bet that younger people have a stronger psychological association between their identity and their age. This seems to die down with time. (Consider how much someone under 25 will talk about age and ask how old someone is, and how that changes after. Numerical age is just not as relevant.) The question asked for you to both reveal that you're a Saaber...and that you're of a particular age, and people who dont have a particularly strong associative identity with their age probably found the question not worth answering/considering.
(This is incidentally a very psychological based answer...though I'm an Economist myself.)
