I don't think anyone is confusing the idea that families come in all shapes and sizes, some with children, some without, but in American culture, the words "family entertainment" or "fun for the whole family" iplies that it's "safe" for all age groups, nothing more. Yes, it might be nice if we actually said "appropriate for all ages" but you're asking everyone to change a long accepted figure of speech that's not likely to go away.
