I don't understand what's hard to understand. Regulation that affects people and devices that have no risk of being used for the purported thing that's supposed to be protected against is not well-scoped.

Obviously if the government knew that you had no kids, they wouldn't need to check it. How do you propose they find out, without asking you to prove it?
Backwards. The government knows who has kids because they do things like issue birth certificates and operate state schools. In a lot of places it's legally very difficult not to be listed as a parent on government records.
So why should I have to prove I don't have kids when the government can know I'm not on any of those lists?

How do I propose the government know if I have kids? I'm pretty sure they already know that I don't?
I don't think the government knows if a given random IP connection has kids, or is you.
