Adult only household - why is Daytime Protection PIN enforced?

I've read multiple threads on the OFCOM / Daytime Protection PIN rules and I've concluded it's just a load of old (Removed) for a lot of people.

As an adult only household there is literally no benefit in having this PIN enforced.  It's pure annoyance for annoyance sake.

Imagine walking into your local pub and being asked for your Age ID everytime you want a pint.. when you're a grey haired 50 something!! It's not a lot different.

Sky should have the option to register as an adult only household which allows permanent disablement of this nonsense.

I'd love a Sky response to this that doesn't quote OFCOM

@davey-lad  You won't get a response from sky if you don't want to blame ofcom blame the government because it's the law as it currently stands simple as that and ofcom are responsible for enforcing it and sky are legally responsible for applying it along with any other broadcaster wishing to show age restricted content pre watershed
