Hard disagree, this reeks of HN bias in my opinion in that the problem is clearly how disproportionately awesome tech and tech companies are. The problem is lazy parents. Everything described is a reasonable defense for why the product might be addictive but not for why parents are somehow unable to bar their child from it nor does it explain why parents are unwilling to take these measures. The reality from what I've seen of other parents at my children's schools is that most come at technology with the boomer mentality that treats having to learn new things as some sort of arduous feat and not a basic expectation of being a responsible caretaker.
