Children are smarter than you realize. I used to be an elementary teacher many years ago, and they have the capacity to ask some thought-provoking and intelligent questions for their age. Children also tend to be honest when they express their emotions and how they’re feeling. I’d expect a 10 year old to ask a provocative question like this, especially when they’re grappling with their feelings and trying to understand such a life-altering event.
However, children can also be stupid, just like adults.

It’s not about kids being stupid.
