This is how language develops, I’m afraid. But imagine that the age is 10^k where k is something like “age class”. Then indeed the age grows exponentially :)

It still doesn’t grow exponentially, it is just orders of magnitude older.

Possibly, because if I read between the lines, their answer is “huh I dunno”.

Orders of magnitude is an exponential measure.
