The fact it’s the government who cares suggests whose interests the law is serving. Viet Nam is a pretty authoritarian country right now, and it loves the ability to track the activities of citizens.
it's for banking apps specifically though.

Anyway it's not like they're the UK and have age ID's for their internet lol

Authoritarian governments have an interest in knowing where and how you spend your money, and from where you got it.
