I don't think this part is true. Kids are currently used to having access to all of these services. And there is a lot more utility to having access to the whole internet, than having a a few packs.
To say nothing of the fact that these codes can be distributed digitally once they have been purchased. So it's harder to deter.

How do the kids pay for them?
Crypto, dah. Are you living in the 90s?
A ten year old raised/scammed $10k in crypto meme tokens last week.
Join us in the 21st century.
Minors have been getting beer illicitly since the day we introduced drinking age laws. Perfection isn't the goal.
credit card, prepaid visas, gift cards, crypto atm, csam.
Hell, pay in cash and get the codes digitally separately.

Good opportunity for an undercover bust.
It doesn't have to be perfect. Minors get beer and tobacco too, despite our laws and ID checks.
