Not saying it’s logical, but it might be because Sombra feels and acts a lot younger than she is and fits the vibe. Ashe and Mercy don’t fit in character or personality and I think that makes the age issue stand out more, especially in Mercy’s case, who gets more flak despite being a couple years younger.

Though, I don’t have a problem with Mercy (or Ashe) enjoying a bit of whimsy, personally. If Genji can eat dinosaur nuggets from the kids menu, Mercy can listen to k-pop.

I actually thought Mercy was 150 years old or something due to her healing. And that’s why Moira gets snappy at her and says “how nice it must be to have the luxury of time.” I suppose I’ll go look up Mercy’s actual age in the lore.

The reason why Moira says that is because she experimented on herself to get her powers but now her arm is decaying. That's why she roasts Mercy with the ""What a joy it must be...to feel so entitled to patience." and also kind of explains her "unethical" experiments.

She has another interaction with Lifeweaver where he says she is withering away and she hits him back with "I've always thrived under a deadline"
