The older person actually has to be chaperoning the younger person. It's not a matter of just having a random older person buy the ticket. That's why they sometimes double-check at the door. Yes, I have also seen younger kids with their parents at R-rated movies, but the kids were with their parents, and the parents made the choice to take them (as poor of a choice as that may be). It's not the same thing as checking to make sure 14 years olds didn't just pay off a 20-something stranger to buy their tickets. I remember when I was 18 and I tried to see an R-rated movie with a 16-year old friend. Even though I was old enough to buy both tickets, they wouldn't let my friend in because she was underage and I obviously wasn't her parent or guardian. The employees may not give a crap, but their bosses do, and the employees want to keep their jobs. They may slack off and let younger people through if the boss isn't around, but managers have a way of cracking down on those things when they find out.
