I can't figure out how to create accounts for my kids. They are under 13 and there's a checkbox saying people under 13 can't create an account.

Use the time honored technique of lying on the birthdate form.

I like to pick 1901, so it looks like a 123 year old is playing The Witcher 3.

Yeah, maybe they should have some sort of 'young child' accounts for children under 13, that are required to be in a family with more restrictions on store access and such.

I there are some regulatory hurdles as well, like data collection and ratings board stuff. It would probably take some work to implement those.

Thanks to COPPA, American kids under 13 actually have very good protections online. To the point companies like Google and Valve will forego profits so they don't have to comply.

IIRC I'm 5 years older on steam than reality because of this. From my family's first computer onward, I am the parental controls.
