Honestly, I'd have been more okay with this happening to Damian than Jon. It would still suck. But we've had Damian as a child for over a decade. We've gotten to see him grow as a character and see Bruce no longer in just the role of the mentor, but as the parent for a pretty good chunk of time. Which is why making Damian a teenager now (even if he hasn't physically changed) feels more...earned. At this point, if he had suffered from the Bendis effect, I still wouldn't like it, but I wouldn't be begging for its reversal. It felt like Jon was JUST coming into his own when they suddenly dropped this big, dumb bombshell on him. Like he was just starting to establish himself as a character before they went and gave him this drastic and unneeded change.
Ageing Damian is more detrimental. DC is trying all it can to keep Bruce young. Ageing Damian = kiss of death. There's a reason why comics prefer adopted kids. Bio kids age heroes.
Superman on the other hand isn't human so doesn't age like a human. He can afford to have a 17yr old bio kid Bruce can't.

Ian’s the real demon child of the Batfamily.
I don't know what this Ian is, but he sounds disappointing.
