Just because a rating agency says something doesn't mean its appropriate, they have strict guidelines, these guidelines revolve around obscenitys, violence, drugs and similar, they don't go on "may not be appropriate for children because the story itself is dark and sad" 12+ would be a ok rating in my opinion, again, its not meant for children, German fairytales aren't either, even though they are classified differently.

Kids below a certain age cant even comprehend the story.

Woah there! German fairy tales were meant for children! That's explicitly their target audience.

The whole point was to scare the children into behaving a certain way. Like, "don't go wandering off alone. Bad things can happen!"

If you just tell your kid that they won't listen. However, if you tell them a story about how kids that wandered off alone into a forest got cooked and eaten by a witch then maybe they'll stick to the village (and be wary of strangers).

Nope, the Grimm fairytales where explicitly for "adults" so about 16 years old at the time. They have very graphics Sex scenes, brutal murders and more.

Struwwelpeter is aimed towards 8 to 12 year olds as they have a more educational purpose. (wich is probably what you are talking about)

I think they issue is different definitions of kid.
