Regular device accounts now ask you to prove you are 18+ through different processes, mine was enabled based on age of Apple ID.

This is entirely seperate to the family sharing permissions that’s presumably the op is talking about, where I think? They are saying the permissions are not fine grained enough so workarounds are needed.
