Something that is worth considering here is the previous experience of someone tackling a scrambling route.
I tried hillwalking then pitched rock climbing with ropes & protection and later moved onto soloing and scrambling.
I think this is a different perspective than someone who moves directly from walking to scrambling.
I had already learnt about handholds, balance, testing holds and techniques and this equipped me well for the easier scrambles. This would all be new to the scrambler who was moving from walking and thus should be tackled in progressive steps.
