What is the alternative here?

Not implementing it and going "well okay don't use it in California then", for one thing!

I'm not an expert in law. But wouldn't the maintainers be fined if an underage used it in California? Given that they can obtain it without any sort of location spoofing

Not an expert in law either, but I Am pretty sure, that they would not be fined.
