The problem is the surveillance and tracking, not the age verification itself.

Yes, I think you're right. Some of these other comments seem to imply that age-verification would involve taking a photo of your face, giving your full name and having that stored permanently in a database.
I have no idea if that's true, but if it was, I'd be massively concerned about that (compared to non-phased about the general idea of age-verification)
Here’s one reporter’s account of age verification/age estimation as mandated by the UK’s OSA:
