Enforcement, one countries laws don’t apply in another. Which is kind of why the age verification thing won’t work… There will always be some jurisdiction that’ll ignore things for profit.

Not entirely true. If I'm incorporated in country A and want to offer a service in country B, I'll have to comply with the local regulations. Furthermore, most VPNs have local presence in the EU as well. NordVPN is incorporated in Panama, but also has an entity in The Netherlands.
Well, what’s preventing the UK to ban the websites/VPN services that don’t comply at the ISP level?
This is what Russia is (semi-successfully) doing.
That's a forever lasting game of whack-a-mole.
You either need to firewall the nation (which I imagine would be pretty unpopular) or it's just a waste of resources.
Many areas of law enforcement are whack-a-mole. There's no online gambling regulation so strict that it will stop unlicensed sites from existing entirely; that doesn't mean the rules are pointless or resources dedicated to enforcing them are wasted.

If that were true, we'd see the adult sites just migrating to those other, friendlier countries - I don't believe we are.
