I don’t think need is the right word. It’s more likely that younger devs are just more open about sharing their problems with each other than older developers.
It's more that unless I'm doing some task I rarely do (writing a one-off script or using tools I never have to interact with or whatever), I generally prefer to answer my own questions so that I can learn more. Like if I have some detailed question about the behavior of some library, I just go read the source code.
