How wouldn't this also apply to things like useradd(8) or simply automated user account setup, e.g. like cups, sshd, etc? Do we need to add this to vi for use in vipw on UNIX?

Worse. Google has to add this to all the machines in their data centers? Imagine the expansion of DevOps BS this will enable:

Vendors will need support stuff like "account holder is 12msec old, and can access adult content". They can even create a special certification for it.

  • useradd has the Other category at setup. Could you argue that anything which allows arbitrary text information to be input into a user account that could be passed on to other applications technically fulfills the requirement, as the user could indicate age on the account?

Maybe the OS could ship with preconfigured age-range based usergroups. When you add a new user you could simply add them to the appropriate usergroup.
