Content restriction isn't, and should never be the business of web standards.

This proposal would join the likes of Encrypted Media Extensions (which was a mistake to adopt), and Web Integrity (which will be a mistake if adopted).

I can see what you're saying. what solution is there then? As the internet becomes more public, so it also loses the freedom of eg the 90s and that may not be so bad with AI in the toolkit of scammers attacking older or more prone populations. It's very hard to say what effect things will have. Free markets were always the thing but price fixing or other retaliatory measures against oligopolistic greed may now be employed (eg see canada threatening to tax grocery chains for pricing too high)
