I think that's interesting and probably true, but hard to figure out which is which for someone in that very unique situation.

Also very true about more freedom for younger sibling - I have an older sister (so gender comes into it too) but my parents always wanted to know who she was with/that she was safe. From about age 15 they didn't give stuff where I was . In my later teens I used to just bunk down on friend's floors after nights out and didn't even tell them where I was. I coulda been dead in a ditch .
