The OS should expose to apps, and browsers expose to websites, only the simple answer to the question: “is the current user of a legal age to access this content?” as a boolean value, based on information stored in the OS by parents setting it

No, it shouldn't. Period, dot, end of fucking story. There are already filters available for online content and they don't require both client and server to be correctly configured so they by default work better than this ever could; on that alone, your argument to force this shit on the entire ecosystem fails the smell test.
