Why is there no privacy respecting solution for age verification? Like the government giving you some sort of token that says you’re over 18 and that’s it?

There is!, one of the officially recognised and approved ways is credit card verification, however afaik only steam is doing that.

I mean a dedicated, government issued age verification token that doesn’t reveal any data to the third party other than you are allowed access age wise.

i’ve seen screenshots of ios users being verified due to having their credit cards as payment methods tied to their name, which is a hell of a lot better than an ID
