The US has the limit at 13. California has the above mentioned CCPA which puts it at 16. Europe has the also above mentioned GDPR, which opts countries within the EEA to select for themselves whether they want 13 or 16, but Fandom decided to use 16 all-out to be sure (as several multi-country languages have different choices).

Why so? Same for every law. Politicians thought it best. Go complain with them.
