hehe you sound like my sister and she is a great mom and my nephews who are homeschooled have better social engagement that many kids their age or older who attend regular schools in a social environment but are hooked to their phones. And as much as these boys are only12, read more books than i do in a year and teaching me new words, they also know how to use YouTube to learn yoyo tricks, basketball, build better paperplanes etc - but that's dependent on parents and attentiveness.

Most parents are not like you guys, hence govt would loveeee to step in and "control" the situation - which can be dangerous because limiting external free knowledge would lead to the infusion of "gov't based education only" is a disaster for these kids . And hence the easiest way to aid the parents is to enable parental control that they can manage - and even that can be "default" settings for people who don't want to make the calls and "advance" for those who do.
