Oh, I actually meant you shouldn't be able to exclude an adult based on them violating the ToS when they were a minor.

They can exclude an adult for any reason they want (in the US at least), as long as the reason isn't discriminatory against a protected class (for example, they can't exclude someone based on their religion). Other than that, they can exclude you for any reason they want, or no reason at all.
You seem to be arguing that you can't ever prevent minors from using your service, since you can only exclude them via your TOS and you can't enforce a TOS against minors.
This seems very similar to the arguments that "freeman of the land" use to argue that they can do whatever they want since they don't agree to be bound by laws.
