It might not be so bad if it was just entering the age of the device's user when setting it up, since in that case the system would be essentially just a standard for parental controls.
I think that's what it is.
What it is today. But these things tend to slip-slope their way to worse privacy violations over time. Oh, children are getting around the setting? Well, we better tie it to a government ID.
I'm more afraid of what it becomes than what it starts as.
Then the headlines read “Huge OS data breach results in millions of ID data lifted.” Then you’ll get signed up for 2 years of Experian and told to monitor your identity because oopsy-daisy our fault but your responsibility.
