They forgot to put in the provision which exempts apps which do not need an age rating? As in: everything os related.

Sounds like a good way to get rid of snap at least since that is where all the commercial bloat is located. Last time I did a fresh Debian install I do not remember installing any app from the os repository which would require age restrictions (afaik).

That's correct. You need to provide your age to install grep.
