If the AI falsely identifies your age, and you can't prove otherwise, the restrictions won't be removed.

Sounds like a good way to lose users.

Or be free from googles data collecting bullshit without having to navigating the labyrinth of hidden (not really hidden just burried and parsed across multiple menus to make it as hard as possible to turn certain shit off) google settings lol most of the consequences for being underage are settings I used to use when I used Google services.

Google has either overt or tacit monopolies. They haven't cared about losing users for years, and by and large, they have been correct that it doesn't matter. YouTube is so ubiquitous that it may as well be a public utility.
