I know it's probably bad form to link to reddit posts here (but I'll use redlib to it's slightly less shitty lol) but there was actually a pretty interesting thread on r/Linux about this the other day. tl;dr: It looks like a lot of this is due to lobbying from Meta so they can shunt responsibility for age verification onto the OS and dodge fines for not regulating their sites properly.
