I think the over-21 example is particularly bad because I cannot
imagine a site (at least in the US) not taking responsibility for that
check themselves based on demographic data they request.  It seems
like way too much of a risk to outsource this to an identity provider
especially if you allow identities from a number of different identity
providers.

However I do agree that non-identifier claims are something we want to
support in the fullness of time.  I just think that we can learn a lot
by getting something that supports a single identifier claim in the
first version.  I don't even mind if we standardize more than that, I
just question whether it needs to be mandatory to implement.
