There's some foul music out there that a 7-year-old needn't be introduced to and you'd like to be able to buy something on a whim when your kid says "Hey, I know this band, Suzie has this album, can I have it?"
Point is, there's grey area, which is why the sticker has value.
Some people want to know, some don't, and some people are offended that people want to know.
Heck, as a teenager it was a point of pride to buy an album w/ that sticker, so IMO it works entirely as intended. Those with autonomy (older kids and adults) get to make their own choices, those without (younger kids) don't.
