How is it different from anything else that gets reported to applications, like the username? Knowing my name is "George" is actually much worse than knowing I'm over 18.

My username is “anon”.
And your age is 25, no matter what it actually is.
The law doesn’t mandate that I have a username or that my username gets reported to those requesting it.
This law can be expanded to require other things, like verification, or collection of legal names. What’s to say that reporting a false age to a service isn’t some kind of criminal fraud? There’s a thousand things wrong with it.
