Can we just ask the user: Are you in California?

If yes: say something like “this system doesn’t support age verification and can’t be used in California” and then do nothing (even let the user try the prompt again)

If no: make the account normally and continue the device setup

For this bill, “user” explicitly means “minor”. Prohibit (California) minors from using your OS in your ToC, and you don’t have to do anything at all.

They could at least implement the steam style age check. That works flawlessly!
