Because it’s not that crazy, authoritarian and is basically what most websites do to “verify” you age (which is to say nothing but asking you your age).
The law does not require photo ID uploads or facial recognition, with users instead simply self-reporting their age

The photo ID requirements are what will come next.

It always ALWAYS comes step by step! First they will introduce age “non-real-check”, then they will enforce the check: you have accepted the principle, so what’s the big deal if we actually check it?

It’s more than that. Go read the bill, particularly section 1798.501.b, 1798.502.a and b. Every developer of every application that can be downloaded from every package system MUST request your age bracket every time it is downloaded. And possibly every time it is launched. Basic utilities like ‘ls’ and ‘cat’, that pong example I pushed as a test, everything.
