Movies sometimes fight for higher ratings because it drives traffic. Star Wars was going to be G, but Lucas begged for a PG so adults wouldn’t think it was a kids movie.
Edit: “The G rating wasn’t intended to mean fare for children; it simply meant the film was suitable for a "general audience." As a result, a number of films in the late 1960s and early 1970s were released with G ratings that would seem surprising today -- among them, True Grit, Planet of the Apes, The Odd Couple and Airport.” Source: https://www.cbr.com/movie-legends-revealed-did-star-wars-add-a-severed-arm-to-earn-a-pg-rating/
Generational language difference, I didn’t know that.
Fun fact about this movie. (For me at least) One of the scenes was shot a few miles away from my house in rural Iowa. The hill is now known as Twister Hill.

Could have been "PG-13 for depictions of people getting WET"
