After all, public code repositories which are essential for developing the software they’re switching to are… also a form of social media, correct? Surely they do not want to sabotage its development by requiring those repos to implement costly age verification? Right?

Because that’s how the software works. It’s deleted for other people, but not from the database, so that you yourself can still see it in case you need it later.
