All in all, I'm not sure if it has anything to do with the original topic of EU being about to enforce 'age verification'.
This type of argument always sounds to me like someone was abused by their ex-partner, but now prefers their new partner who abuses them a little less.
This is a common negotiation practice in business as well as politics. You make some absolutely outrageous demand, and people protest, but then you give them the -originally planned- light version of it, and they will accept it; in light of the worse option.
