those already exist. parents don't use them overwhelmingly.

my sister's kids have had theri phones locked down since they got them. limited screen time, only approved apps, etc.

literally none of their friends parents are doing this. the kids feel like their parents are abusive and cruel because they are depriving them of something everyone else has

Turn them on by default and make adults have to turn them off with each new phone. It's an easy fix without a surveillance state.

Exactly this, when the kid turns 16 they can get the parental controls turned off.

Shit, if they think parental controls on devices are abuse, have I got some eye opening life stories to give them

Those kids don’t realize their parents are helping them.
