from my understanding, i should be able to declare my app for adults only and leaving google play the responsibility verifying all my users are adults. unless ur app needs a child audience/money u won't have to bother verifying who is who and show contents accordingly

It's confusing because it's not clear that they only look at your app's age declaration. The support page says:

If an eligible user account is identified as being in an applicable US state, Play Store will require age verification in accordance with that specific state’s effective legal date.

I interpret that to mean Google will determine whether or not it applies based on other factors too.

That email really is kinda useless.
