I was a college professor for 20 years (in the United States). So, it is definitely true that many professors will treat you, the student, like an equal. Because you are legally an adult and that means that you are now responsible for your own decisions.....So they won't nag you about getting work in on time, or making up missed tests. It is your responsibility to make sure you fulfill the course requirements. And that means that if you get a low grade, that is on you, too.
And one way to treat students as equals is to not have an issue when they skip your classes. They are adults, they can determine whether it is worth attending a professor's class. Some professors' classes are not that important, some profs can't teach. I skipped many classes, I still got my STEM Ph.D.... And I hated when profs would spend the first day of class reading the syllabus to us.
