Actually the flight attendant says it in every pre-flight emergency
briefing. You are right that it is a simple concept, and I don't know
anyone who is too stupid to understand it.

Then why do flight attendants point it out on every flight?

Perhaps the airlines have considered the possibility that not every
passenger on every flight has researched this as much as you have. I
believe it reasonable to presume that not all passengers on all flights fly
frequently enough to remember this minute detail of aircraft emergency
procedures, and as such require a reminder during the emergency briefing.
This holds especially true for those people who have never flown before. I
further believe that unlike some of the pre-flight announcements, this
announcement is made in an effort to be thorough, prudent, and even
intentionally repetitve for the sake of parents who might otherwise
instinctively react differently what this instruction suggests.

Or perhaps they do it because it is required by the FAR's.
