None of these states that require age verification have given the companies they regulate any method to verify the users, so I’m pretty sure they don’t care. Just like “meh, well, we tried”.
The EU actually provides a verification method but AFAIK it’s still incomplete/unavailable.
Problem with EU is that there are multiple systems. Ie. For Baltics, we use this
I don’t think that’s a problem because they all meet the same minimum standards:
Smart-ID meets the European Union’s eIDAS Regulation and the European Central Bank’s standards for a secure authentication solution
