Yes, and how many people are going to go change the Linux kernel for their distro to rip out age verification ad-hoc?
Let's just focus on the <0.001% of the population who might have the knowledge and skills to do so. How many of that absolutely minute portion are capable of spending the time and effort to achieve that?
It's extremely naive to expand your superiority complex to assume that you won't be affected by this while ignoring almost everyone else that will.
Some distro from a country outside the Epstein class' jurisdiction will do that for them.
