1. You are ignoring the premise that an operating system is not a tool for accessing porn.
2. Details such as one's birthdate are absolutely part of your identity.
3. There is no such thing as a "child" account in Linux.
- Who pays the open source developers to add this feature?
- Would it be against the law if a child uses `sudo`?
4. What possible legal consequences might there be?
- How would the state know that a user in compliance with the law?
- what are the consequences if a user or operating system is not in compliance?
- Is this data being recorded in a database?
- If they suspect you have a child using an "adult" account, does the state have the right to seize your computer?
- if a child uses an "adult" account to access "harmful" content and that somehow leads to damages, is there no ability to sue for those damages since the child was committing "fraud"?
- What if an adult is logged into an account and a child uses the computer while the adult is logged in?

The community's reaction is not "blown out of proportion". I'd say the reaction is actually not proportional enough.
