Unfortunately the eID system is neither well communicated nor widely used. Which really is a pity. It’s (at least in principle) quite well thought out. You get clearly shown who’s asking for which information. Then you present the ID to the phone, enter your PIN and only that information gets provided. In principle this would allow for a blind “are you old enough?” check without ever touching the actual data.

But of course while this is a relatively simple game of signatures and certificates and (afaik) safe and secure it is basically impossible to communicate what exactly is provided at which point in a manner that is understandable let alone trustable by the general public. And the workflow requires you to provide the PIN twice, which is nice (it’s not cached) but also annoying
