The verification process using the German eID is. It is cryptologic secured, no middle man and the site owner only gets the information, if the age limit is fulfilled. Just because you can not imagine it means not that it does not exist.

There is a good reason for THIS EU law. Others are utterly bullshit, but have a look on social media. Look at those boys, yes boys, 12 years and younger, that fall for this alpha male bullshit, or the racist, right-wing propaganda. It is reasonable to protect kids from such influences. And laws, forbidding kids younger then x to use suge sites, must be enforceable.
EDIT: For anonymous age verification: The German ID van be used for such things: it is nfc, your mobile phone can be the reader, or you buy an nfc reader for your pc. The client software is open source, and it sends only the requested data. For example “older then X”.
An such a system is to be rolled out (or maybe even done?) In the whole EU
