I mean.... I very much disagree with this. DC wants a teen team absolutely, but the Titans especially under Wolfman were never that. They were always a band of characters that DC had no idea of what to do anything with. Although younger, their vibe had always been these groups of people coming into their own and growing into their own.
Although Jurgens experimented with reducing the Titans to a teen brand, there was a reason that Teen Titans team got kicked to the curb relatively quickly because they were not the reason were interested in the Titans as a franchise. Likewise, there was a reason Young Justice thrived.
The biggest problem is very much down to editorial at the time, which wanted to streamline the concepts. Again, it's a reason that in contrast to the 80s and 90s, for better and worse, you had a lot of books that veered off the beaten path, nearly all the books can be linked back to the Justice League heroes especially in the 2000s and New 52.
The problem has been on the Titans as a franchise or a concept, it has been down to the fact that a lot of comic editorial, especially in the 00s onwards has been the desire to reduce the superhero universe into something managable which in addition to making everthing connected to the "big books" mean bastardising the titles.
