If lying about your age is illegal then not verifying your age at all is probably also illegal. You probably wouldn't be able to access any commercial, online software or websites using an unverified distro
This would be a significantly better problem to deal with than having the OS compromised in the first place.
Again, that's outside the control of systemd. If they need to provide an interface, they need to provide an interface. If you don't want to use that interface you don't have to, but I'd rather have that commercial stuff pinging a known open API than doing something sketchy internally.
