EU age verification app not planning desktop support

The focus is so strong on the app, that it assumes everyone owns a smartphone. The other day I saw a granny on the bus with a phone that was 2cms thick and predates the famous Nokia 3310. How is she and other users without a smartphone supposed to verify their age online? How will this impact the browsing experience on the web? Every website has GDPR checkboxes these days which somewhat disrupts browsing experience if browsing in for example incognito mode. Imagine if you want to browse the web
