The age verification with the EU ID card can be implemented without leaking any identifying information. If it's gonna be like that is questionable, but it's technically possible.

Do you really believe that the governments and the Eu machinery won't use that information for other purposes...

It's not about what I believe or not, it's about technical capabilities of the ID card.
Technical capabilities of the card or anything else are immaterial compared to who can access and control the data.
Except when the technical capabilities prevent access??? Are you a troll?
For $5 I'll give you an age token from my card.
