Being owned by Disney has nothing to do with it. Rick has stated on multiple occasions that he's target audience has always been for middle school kids and in particular for kids who don't like reading. I think this is truly one of his greatest downfalls. Typically an author or artist will grow with their audience, but Rick never did that. I will say that HoO is more mature than PJO though.
