I’d love for these politicians to explain to me how age verification of Linux web servers should work for auto-scaling environments where instances are spun up and terminated automatically based on traffic volume.

Come on, can't be that tedious. What could it be 200-300 instances tops per day? My kid sister does that many selfies.
