Systems that are put into place will get misused or it's initial usage will get softened, loosened and then for some safety stuff re-purposed (protection of children, protection against terrorism). If it's there already why not use it for more than just some age verification.
It's so cruel that we debate this mainly so that network traffic can get attributed to natural persons and this is gold++ for marketing.
