Current iteration of of ID-based checks is both awful (Discord ID leak proves how dangerous) and hostile (there's high chance this data is being sold already as we speak). It's also laughably simple to circumvent in many cases. Good, privacy preserving age check could be implemented instead, but they won't because it's not about keeping the kids away (and never was). And your example with Instagram is great because they've been caught running experiments actively harming children.
