Mandatory OS integration is not separate, optional, or user-driven.

I have explicitly argued against, in itself, for its own sake.

Under the other submission, I am even arguing against age verification in general.

But sure, let’s talk about this on its merits, in a vacuum, like there’s nothing else happening. What the fuck is it for? You endlessly insist it’s super minor, barely an inconvenience, and obviously any idiot can bypass it. That is your defense. If you freely acknowledge all of the other went too far and didn’t work, why is this one worth trying? How is this encroachment on all operating systems not a waste of time, at best?
