They made Gaara Kazekage because at the time they did not trust him, so they put him in a position of power so they could further restrain him and keep a closer eye on him.
Naruto has the trust of his village so there is no need to do the same for him, but only that, but remember they are both different villages, different rules.
Motivations aside, age is demonstrably not a real factor.
Naruto has more than just the trust of his village, he has their adoration, as well as the respect of the entire shinobi world. He's the f-cking messiah, what with the prophecy as his Jesus healing ability? What is Kakashi by comparison? Merely a reputable shinobi in a good standing. He could be Hokage, and he could be a great one at that, but why would you play Xavier Henry when you've got Kobe?
