The Prophet (saw) started preaching Islam at the age of 40

You —

and it was the same with most other prophets too I think (the obvious exception being Prophet Isa (as)).

Don't you think that is pretty amazing?

yup. I normally consider 40 to be an age so old that it is way past the point you would consider starting something new.

At the same time, the Prophet ﷺ did not simply start from scratch - he ﷺ lived within the people and shows his character and example for 40 years, which the people could clearly see was unblemished.
