Why do people insist that Ayesha SA was 9 when she was married?

I know about the hadith but the problem is the following.
Abu-Bakr RA and his family accepted Islam in ~610CE, she was engaged beforehand with Jubayr ibn Mut'im, but the engagement was called off because the family of Jubayr ibn Mut'im did not like AbuBakr RA and his family's conversion to Islam and we know she was married around 620CE and went to live with the Prophet SAWW in 623/624CE. How can she be engaged with Jubayr ibn Mut'im before her birth? OR we can say that she was alive before 610 as she accepted Islam around 610, she was at least 5/6 years old, which would make her year of birth 604/605CE, making her around 19 years old in 623/624CE.

The issue is that why do people claiming to be alims insist on 9-year-old idea when it has been logical and mathematically proven to be wrong and then they go into this weird science that girls mature faster in those days or whatever. why is that?

Valid questions, but this topic should be under the Islamic corner section, not here.

She was 20 years old not 9.
It is because of Nasbiis' hadithes only. They wanted to raise her so they tried to lower her age and it became 9 or even 6 years old.

guys , what is the most important parts in a marriage. It is a consent. Without a consent there is nomarrige. By the age of 9 who knows what a consent it.

It is because they have been teaching us this in our Islamiat school books. They didn't tell us the ages of other Umahat ul momineen, but only Hazrat Khadijah (being the first one( & Hazrat Ayesha.

I mean we don't mention wat age Hazrat Abu bakr, or Umar or Usman or Ali accepted Islam, but we know the marriage age only.
