Because the issue does not pertain to that graphic alone. The issue is children under the age of 13.
From my understanding this is happening because YouTube got caught by the FTC and fined because YouTube was gathering data (to use for specific advertising to children) from accounts that YouTube knew were held or run by children under the age of 13. Apparently the evidence presented against YouTube was massive.
There is no doubt there are YouTube accounts that are held/run by children under 13. They just have to lie about their birth date and poof, they have a YouTube account. Using those graphic metrics means little if you have account holders lying about their actual age or kids hacking into their parents accounts etc.
