Yes but I’ll try to expand on that for anyone not in the know.
In general there’s been a wealth of info about users but you didn’t necessarily need info in there. Like GECOS where you can store the full name, phone numbers, etc.
These are simply fields made available but not required. Systemd is making it available but your OS itself doesn’t need to use it at all.
Now I personally very much disagree with all this age verification BS but systemd isn’t really doing anything extreme here nor unprecedented.
