They certainly have more choices than implementing in this manner, and can choose to not implement it as well.
Absolving Apple of responsibility gives more than they deserve.

Apple has to do age verification because of dumb laws, but they decided to do age verification in a dumb way.
The author tried to go along with the age verification system with five different cards and failed five times. For an account that's older than the legal age that would need to be verified in the first place, mind you.
There are many ways to do age verification, most of them bad, but that's why most companies complying with these laws use multiple methods.
