So they're all going to request, store, and sell even more personally identifiable information.

No, no, no, it's super secure you see, they have this in the law too:

Information collected for the purpose of determining a covered user's age under paragraph (a) of subdivision one of this section shall not be used for any purpose other than age determination and shall be deleted immediately after an attempt to determine a covered user's age, except where necessary for compliance with any applicable provisions of New York state or federal law or regulation.

And they'll totally never be hacked.

And that exception seems like companies could say something like, "but what about second verification?"

Nope, I don't trust companies to actually delete stuff.
