What about another setting for important governmental figures, like president, governor, senators, ... ? It can make a automatic backup for FOIA. If they doing nothing wrong, they have nothing to hide.
We have a somewhat similar field here in Argentina for credits and other big bank transactions. The idea is to be more carefully with them to cut corruption. It looks good on paper.
But it doesn't give him anything. We're talking about an offline, private, decentralized, OS-agnostic mechanism here.
Zuck is no privacy advocate. But users care about privacy, and he most likely cares enough to take action because having to require online age verification will cost him users. If Facebook has to prompt to "upload selfie/ID" or "log in with your government ID app", many users will just choose to quit.
"Look, you've already implemented OS-level age control, you really shouldn't object to adding this government-mandated binary which checks that it's working as intended, it doesn't spy on you or anything, promise"
Of course, determining DOB based on when the user graduates age brackets then becomes trivial anyway, if a little slow.

Do not accept the premise of assholes! These people aren't trying to help children, they're trying to harm them!
