You're making the mistake of assuming that every kid has access to identified device and that device is under parent control. You can't make this assumption because that's not true.

It might be true for some middle class helicopter parents that have iPhones and time to manage and keep it under strict control but there are non-middle class kids out there who just use whatever device they can get their hands on and their parens neither have time nor ability to control that.

How many children, actually have the money to buy themself another smartphone, or get a smartphone gifted by random people? I bet that's very rare.

That's a parent issue, the same as if their kid has a secret stash of cocaine or enjoys dancing in traffic.

No technical measure can fix stupid.
