I don't know about other countries, but the german e-ID for example is more sophisticated than that. It can actually limit access to the information that is necessary for the given application (your terminal or app shows you what specific information is requested before you confirm via PIN). So it can just return "yes/no" to the question "is this person an adult?" Almost no company uses it, likely because they can't steal data that way.
