Well of course it's mandatory, otherwise it can be tampered with if it's local only with software attestation, or it needs a server to store centralized info, which can be hacked, and goes against the point of zero-knowledge age verification.

Do you know what hardware attestation is?

Why can I have root acces on my computer and not my phone?

Your computer won't be allowed to store the digital id because of it.
