Without fully understanding the inner workings of the script, I think its because it takes the video and "tricks" your browser into thinking its being played externally (i.e. not on YouTube), Hence this error appears. Presumably, it's a requirement for allowing the script to do its thing. YouTube must have some sort of policy or restriction on age restricted videos being played externally. The good-ish news is, these videos usually don't have ads on them to begin with, so you can toggle the script off, refresh, and the video likely will play ad free.
