Because systemd isn’t an operating system. It’s just providing a mechanism for the OS to store/lookup the user’s birthday. It’s up to individual distros to do the verification (should the law stand and OS vendors choose to comply)

True but I'm very much opposed to building the underpinnings for this stuff. If you build it they will use it.

It boggles the mind how so eagerly open source projects are trying to pave the way for these laws.
