They stopped doing the age related holiday amount thing at German universities about 4-5 years ago (I'm not sure if everywhere but at least where I'm at). Their argument for stopping was, as you said, that it discriminates by age, which they deemed unacceptable.

Now, everyone gets the same amount of holidays, i.e. younger employees get as much as the older ones, not the other way around.

Its not them who deemed it unacceptable. Its simply illegal.

Of course, you're right.
