There's already being work done to add an optional age-attestation in systemd.
And note that none of the laws proposed so far are actually verifying age, they're only requiring someone to enter it. That's attestation, not verification. Verification will be the next tightening of the screw.
They reverted the change and the Dev who made merge request got death threats.
Was it actually reverted? I saw the PR to revert the change, but last I checked it was closed and not approved
