That's not what the comment I responded to was proposing:

Having an extra hurdle before installing Linux would be an awful secondary effect for this type of regulation independent of whether the check itself is already objectionable (which I always obviously think it is, although obviously plenty of people also don't)

You're right. I don't see why a device would be age restricted by default, when practically always an adult has first access (too expensive)
