Honestly to play devil's advocate, California's law almost is the lesser of 2 evils, if software can ask the OS for age verification then maybe companies will stop rolling out actually invasive verification, and if the OS verification is handled by the sysadmin then it satisfies both sides, people that want to have age verification, and people that think it should be left in the hands of parents as a parenting role. Me personally? I'd rather we have no verification at all but that isn't the path the world is moving down.
