Moser's son retires at 22

He is not getting the results to justify his hard work and has no interest in being a domestique so he has decided to stop. His father respects his decision.

He might have done better on a more modern bike.

Guess it doesn't matter what everyone else thinks if he just doesn't want it or feels the pressure of living up to a great fathers reputation is too much then so be it.
I don't think you have to be a mamma's boy to not want that sort of life. You couldn't pay me enough to live the life pro cyclists live - all that time away from home, but rarely in the same place for two or even a few nights, extremely limited (in terms of both activity and time) times with friends, not able to plan ahead, constant packing and unpacking, the utter, utter tedium of life on tour (judging by what I've seen), the incredibly limited inputs to your life. I would have to have a passion for cycling beyond my comprehension for the racing and riding to make the life worthwhile.
Any cycling examples of the son being better or more successful than the father?
Any daughters?

But if you want one who did - Wiggins. And Kreuziger. And Tony Gallopin. And Dan Martin.
I'll give you two.....the Schlecks!
I tour for a living, and believe me it gets very hard. Endless censored hotel rooms and food, long transfers etc.
If you can't hack that then it is the worst thing in the world.
Mama's boy or not, sounds like his heart wasn't in it so he was never going to be great was he, when things are tough in life, whatever they are you've got to be 100% committed to what you do, if not you might as well not bother, he's chosen the not bothering option which is fair enough.
