After eliminating all accelerations, we are left with
nothing but plain inertial motion, so the question still
stands: What could cause people in different frames to
age differently?
They don't.

Wayne Throop (and all other relativists, only excluding
you) beg to differ:

Here's the key part of Throop's cute triplet example:
"To avoid accelerations in the thought experiments above, we
can simply make the second Bob frame into a "messenger" Carl
[who] never accelerates, but passes by Bob as they set their
watches together. Messenger Carl then travels to Ann and
compares watches as they pass each other. That makes it clear
that there are three distinct inertial frames involved."
As I said clearly to you before: No accelerations and yet
the triplets age differently.
