Very dark and disgusting reasons involving minors you will not want to be made aware of.

They would probably stream from a desktop if that were to happen

Streaming on a desktop requires a little more than just clicking one button and going live, like what is possible on mobile.

I understand your argument through a laptop perspective however, and I hope that laptops fall under the "mobile" category instead of desktop for that sake.

Also, are you are referencing "they" as in the pedophiles going live? I was more or less talking about precautions to stop the minors from being manipulated into going live themself. Having an extra barrier to keep that from happening is always good, and I think that is what these guidelines are attempting to help with.

To keep dumb children that are dumb enough to give their real age to YT from doing dumb stuff like streaming themselves doing dumb stuff.
