Honestly somewhat surprised parents don't automatically take the route of getting their kids thrown into their own niche world of focus beyond "here, phone.. phone good.. good luck"
It's mostly because the phones make the kids "calm down", aka it stops them from being kids for periods of the day, much like TV and videogames did.
When you think about the situation, it's a downward spiral. Parents have to work harder to sustain kids than people did 30-50 years ago, there aren't many places for kids to just play and fool around unsupervised, homes are getting smaller
