Sorry if I was unclear. My "race to the bottom" occurs because a privacy-preserving pass allows actors to hand out free passes to those the system is seeking to deny entry. E.g., An adult can generate valid keys and then publish them online for anyone to consume (or charge for them even).

My hypothesis is that this would lead to demands for policy changes to prevent that, which can realistically only be done via actual identification or hardware based attlestation (which is identification).

Does that seem wrong? If we didn't care if people could bypass the system, there is no reason to force even privacy preserving barriers, since parents literally have all the tools necessary to deal with this now, from router guards, to parental controls on computers, to device enrollment for iPhone and android systems.
