I wonder how this will mix wit federal laws saying you aren't allowed to track users under the age of 13yo? Will this then be forced as a browser API/header passed to every server/request?

Yeah but if so, what does it have to do with the OS itself, i.e. outside the browser?
From articles I've seen, it's mostly Facebook lobbying to "pass the buck" upstream to the OS level to actually inquire... this of course will blead into the OS provided "store" interfaces most likely. And while, likely mostly targeting Apple and Google, MS/Windows and Linux are definitely going to be catching stray bullets. In particular vendors with Linux pre-installed... hence System 76 adding the feature to PopOS. Who knows if/how this will come about in practice or how consistently.
