For me it's how popular and accessible twitch is for kids.

You mean, as opposed to the notoriously unpopular and inaccessible PornHub (among hundreds of others)?

If my child is on twitch, I can reasonably assume it's for game streaming. If my child is on pornhub, I can assume they are watching pornography. I dont like having that line blurred.

It’s not the same, how many children are going to pornhub to watch video games and happens to see and click on a recommended stream for actual porn?

Your false dichotomy does not hold up.

Yep. It's a lot easier to block Pornhub than it is to block porn on Twitch but leave the rest of Twitch unaffected.

twitch could block mature content behind an account, and only if that account is +18

I was thinking more from a parent's point of view. It's a lot easier to block a whole website than parts of a website.
