Because Shounen action is such a huge genre, the competition has brought out some of the best mangakas who come up with really amazing stuff.
The sheer imagination and creativity in mangas like One Piece, Jojo and Toriko are hardly found in many other genres of manga. Fantasy is always a big part in Shounen action and it allows experimentation with less bounds to realism, often leading to very unique, unusual or even bizarre stories.
We should really thank the kids for being the target audience as they allow mangakas to stretch their imagination in less adult ways and instead in the more wondrous and fantastic ways a child would think.
EDIT: Childishness
Actually people who watch so called 'mature' stories don't realise that what they're watching are alot of times extremely childish.
The good thing about Shounen is that it doesn't try to hide its 'childishness', like I said, it is one of the reasons why Shounen is so imaginative.
