The list of "restrictions" for refusing to verify your age include privacy-friendly tweaks that I would consider as perks. Those would make great defaults for everyone.

Ads are no longer personalized

Digital wellbeing tools (such as “take a break”) are enabled by default

Reminders about privacy are shown when uploading a video or commenting

Video uploads are set to private by default

Okay that's a win. YouTube wasn't sure for years if I'm 18+ or not and didn't bother me with some shit
