Children lack experience and they lack assumptions developed under old parameters in a rapidly-changing world. Due to practice, adults will often be more persuasive whether their arguments are obsolete or not. And anyway, "under my roof," etc. I hope I parent with some humility.
My main point here is that children's lack of familiarity with or knowledge of "how things work" has always been both a strength and a weakness, and once we entered the current technology explosion it became a *clear* strength-on-net. And somehow culture did not really notice.
Adults have all sorts of ideas about what kids should and should not be spending their time doing. I wonder what percentage of the first generation of at-home coders curdled in the shell with parents heavily restricting computer access (and patting themselves on the back for it).
Very smart people talk about how "screen time" is different *now* due to "superstimuli." This is a very reasonable-sounding argument, but no more so than the arguments a generation back. Indeed, messing around in the terminal or on geocities was quite addictive for a lot of kids.

Yes, but I think the analysis of these situations are often lacking. Wielding authority saves time, and saying I should always talk it through ignores alternative cost. The time investment can be expensive indeed, and finding arguments to persuade a 4 year old takes imagination.
yes! I think about this often:https://twitter.com/pronounced_ing/status/1079798478342156289 …
I never doubted my parents' intentions and good will, but the advice to take my first degree when I did was bad, and the advice not to take the second degree when I did was worse. I think it was based on assumptions about the perils of debt - reasonable, but overstated.

Gotta ride the wave your on.
This is one of those Tweets that seems perfectly reasonable before you have kids and will make you blush crimson if you read it five years into parenting.
