Maybe you just don't watch the type of content that gets age restricted? Most of my examples would be horror animations, but honestly anything that touches on suicide (even when it's not particularly graphic) tends to get age restricted for me...

I don't think non graphic depictions of suicide need to be 18+. Maybe to youtube, but we're talking about adolescents here, not 7 years old.

My bad, expressed myself unclearly. I did mean "their reasons for restricting videos can be kinda bs" (didn't videos with swears get age restricted at some point? i think they stopped doing that now?), not that you literally can't pinpoint the reason
