I guess teenagers don't have any need to sync files, eh? Hate to see this gradual erosion of internet access for young people - I'd bet half the notable members of this very site started their career trajectory by learning how to break/fix computers in middle school or before

  It is not about age. It is just a way to tie accounts to a real life identity.
  It won't be surprising if the requirement comes from some alphabet agency.

    Don't most countries give people their first IDs before 18? Mine does it at 14.

    In the U.S., you can get a passport for a baby. In my state, you can get a state ID for your child.

    I don't believe IDs are mandatory for children, though? School IDs, maybe, but processing/storing those is going to be a data handling nightmare
