The point isn't protection from attacks that target children, it's gatekeeping content to keep it away from children. Providers are more vulnerable to attacks, overall, because of that gatekeeping, because of ht inevitable use of tools like VPNs and proxies to bypass the mechanisms being used. This sort of anti-anonymity is specifically and precisely targeted at decreasing the security of individuals, subjecting them to surveillance and control by the state. It has nothing to do with "protecting the children" and never did. The four horsemen of the infocalypse are always about power grabs, they're never about actually protecting citizens, or children, or securing a country or region.
