There are already laws defining this. Had to draw the line somewhere, and they did.

  In which legal jurisdiction and culture? Many or most website are have users from many locations. Is the header a json encoded map from country code to age rating?

    The US. If they want to serve users in other countries, or if certain states make their own rules, it's business as usual whether to serve different content there or serve a different header or take the legal risk.

      That seems unworkable and a practical matter

        They already do this, like there's Victoria's Secret's US website vs Qatar.

        It's the exact same problem that age verification faces. There are different laws in different jurisdictions and operators have to figure out how to comply with the ones that matter to them. Think of the (current) header as meaning "we would have blocked you if we saw you were under 18" or whatever equivalent and it should make sense.
