What I would like to take from this is that, by their own definition, desktop apps are out of scope for Age Verification. So does that mean we will see a return of the 'desktop applications' instead of everything being a web service ?
One can dream perhaps. Until then adults who are willing to 'do what they're told' will be the ones who are inconvenienced by this constantly.
Edit: Also this will completely disable any new phone OS' being developed. Why would anyone bother when you can't verify your wallet to do anything online.
No. It's still required by law, which means that your desktop application will require some interaction with your smartphone.
One day, there will be a knock on your door.
"Good morning, this is the police. Is there something wrong with your phone? Is your phone broken? Can we provide you with a charge?"
"No, I must have turned it off accidentally."
"Can we assist you with an upgrade? The newer models don't have power buttons."
