> governments mandate that ... Websites/apps/etc. MAY label content (via headers) indicating when their content/service is/isn't appropriate

Which government? This list of pornographic film studios indicates they reside in many countries.

Past that, the USA alone has thousands of governments. Many have opinions.

I completely agree. I'm not saying that all websites containing nudity must contain a "nudity" label as defined by some specific country, I'm saying:

1. Governments MAY define labels like "gov.texas.bill1234-compliant".

2. Websites MUST NOT apply this label to their content unless the content actually complies with Texas' bill1234.

Websites may ALSO proactively label their content with advisory labels like "advisory.may-contain-nudity", but those would have no legal meaning.

What do we think a Latvian porn host is likely to do in response to that?

Unfortunately the UK has demonstrated that it’s quite possible to go after a lot of adult material even beyond our borders.
