    Because parents do not want to deal with monitoring or taking care of their children. You can limit apps etc on PCs and phones easily with parental controls and no they are not perfect but parents are lazy or too incompetent to figure it out.

        You are not wrong, but then a large portion of the US glorifies being stupid and sees any sort of education effort as some sort of freedom destroying conspiracy.
