Sure but other init systems aren't systemd-like

I don’t get why the age verification thing would be a thing for systemd.

Because they started an discussion how to store the birthdate and give applications the information about the age since one of the optional components handles additional metadata about users.

That seems something completely out of scope for systemd.
