Well COPPA (the bill that caused this) is targeting companies that are creating content targeted at children, not targeting the children themselves. And it is the content the bill is interested in.
The observable (and controversial) effect of this is an outcry by content creators, I suspect the measures they take around accounts identified as children are much less obvious and entirely orthogonal.
