I don’t quite see it like that myself. If you want to potray yourself as a user privacy focused company then why would you even suggest such feature? Even if their intentions are purely to just protect children with zero malicious future plans they still know it’s going to have bad optics and be widely controversial.

How would they know that? It’s often hard to predict how users will react, sometimes your expectations are wrong.
