This is just as lopsided and reactionist of a response as government regulated screen time. We already regulate lots of things for children/minors that could be called unnecessary under the umbrella of 'parent better.' Labor, tobacco/alcohol, gambling, etc.

The answer and discussion are nuanced and lumping them into a black and white choose a side debate isn't reality.
