I also read that Facebook has been lobbying for (OS-level) age verification, but not for this reason...

If that were the reason, why don't they just force their users to verify their identities? They could always do that as far as I'm concerned, that doesn't need to affect any other platforms.

    Probably realize that a non-trivial percentage of their userbase values not verifying their identity to facebook than they value being on facebook. They'd rather someone else be the bad guy, if they can do it while still reaping the benefits.
