How are they supposed to do that without gathering even more personal info from us? This is something both companies have repeatedly proven incapable of keeping secure.

That is precisely the goal. They don't give a shit about children or online safety. It's possible that they just want some ostensibly child-friendly policy to be able to point at for the sake of their dim constituency, but I think it's more likely that they want an easier time tracking down your online activities to a real-world identity.
