Not disagreeing with your point, but women can have children until menopause. It gets riskier and harder but not as much as most people commonly believe. “Biological clock” is a largely made up concept.
The biological clock exists, and it is real. But it ends at a time where no reasonable person should seriously consider having a first child.
For most women menopause starts around 45 and the last period happens around 49-55. That’s the hard limit.
Between 30-45 having kids is most often possible, though it’s getting more difficult and the chance for things like trisomy 21 is increasing exponentially with increasing age.

Isn’t menopause the clock?
Pretty sure when people use that term they’re not thinking “I can usually have a baby at 55”.
