that's the one. As a kid I never understood why punishments even exist. People being mad at me was already unbearable torture

Because most people do not react the way you do. You do your best to teach kids why it's wrong and have them correct behavior but letting them do whatever they want and not escalating when needed is a bad strategy as well. This works well in most children. To expect most parents today, much less 30 years ago to be able to closely identify what might be going on under the surface as well as a professional is unrealistic.
