No. That would be taking money from the parents when they purchase the game. The kids would only be playing the game and so long as there's no store front in the game, there's no problem.

Would you ban kids from riding bicycles because stores sell them?

So where, then, are kids getting money for gacha, if parents are buying games in your alternative world?
