> Also, how does age verification fix things in that scenario if a child is using their parents device

Because the age is verified at the time of access; instead of once during initial setup. Odds are that the former will catch far more flies than the latter.

Your employer probably does the same. Do they have you log in once when you set up your laptop, then comfortably happily say it’s you for the next three years; or do they have you sign in every morning?

Is that really how it works? Every single time you visit any website on the Internet or launch any app it's going to age ID you? I don't think that's right. You validate your account and then you login and you're good. If someone else uses your account, they are you.

And as you said, people share devices but it's also usually one account per app per device. You have to go out of your way to sign out of each individual app or website.

... which doesn't work, because it'll quickly lead to an enterprising 18-year-old highschooler selling pre-verified porn website accounts for $10.
