Yes, I read that some scientists believe that the reason women go through menopause and can longer have kids, and also lose their ability to attract male attention (relative to younger) is so they can focus on grand kids

The problem is that human being used to live in family clans, and the western state institutions deliberately pushed the nuclear family as family clans were powerful.
