But yes, if porn is the only use case then this method is self incriminating.

That is precisely the problem. It will mostly or only be used for porn.

Yes, mainly:

Porn, licor, tabaco, gambling.

But also:

Jobs, dating, discounts, insurance etc.

Not really. Most social media involves some rudimentary age verification, even though their age threshold is lower. Same goes for banking and interacting with government sites. Far from the only ones.
