Can I set myself as a game publisher if I'm 15?

I'm making a game using Gamemaker Studio. Planning game type, making game graphics, adding sounds, programming GMS codes, everything I'm doing by myself. So you know the name on developing, publishing, authorizing would get named by my name.

I created this itch ID this first time. After creating the ID, I saw on the therms and services that, I can name myself in developing games if I'm up to 13 but can't name myself as a game publisher if I'm less than 18. But I'm just 15 yet,  as I discussed to make the game, the game I'm 'publisher' would be named by my own name, Uotsab! But just for age confirmation isn't matching, can't I name mine on the game as the publisher of the game? Or who's name I'll add on the publisher name? What's problem, to the players who'll play and can comment anything in my game, bad or good? If I do well, they will rate and comment my game, if not so they can say anything bad. But where is to get angry there, I'll not collide with them, but I'll reply, I'll try to do the best to develop the game and fix the problems for them, I'll saw responsibility to them on whatever my age would. So can't I name myself as a publisher, when I'm following all other rules?

My main question is this that where is the problem to be a publisher actually, if I'm not 18? I'll never do the opposite of the other terms and other things, so can I do it? If I can't, so is there is any other ways to upload the game, as naming my name as a publisher of the game? If it would be possible to request someone adding his name on this game as a publisher, I would do that. But who is there to add their name on it, no other ones even not helping to make this game, so who's name will I add, it is not possible. So I'm asking to be a publisher of a game that I'll upload after making?
