being a law does not make it just.

I'd love for countries to declare linux illegal. and see how quick tech companies will put an end to this stupid age requirement bullshit

this is true, but as long as the law is active it has power to ruin lives or created huge costs when ignored or even acted against.

It is up to the courts or the legislative to declare laws unjust, until that happened even potential unjust laws are binding.

Or more likely Linux will go back to being irrelevant and Windows will continue to reign supreme.
