I like video games myself but honestly think I probably won’t let my kids play them (and won’t myself then either of course) or at least until they would be like 10. I don’t see any good coming out of that. Same thing with television to be honest
I think if I have kids I'm gonna break out the old consoles in order, so that they have an appreciation for the history and because it'll probably be a self-limiting hobby due to looking like shit compared to anything on a phone
I think that the console issue might be that if you aren’t used to the newer stuff then it still seems great. Even with the 2600, you can play for a very long time and enjoy it. Definitely not as addictive for people as the modern gambling games played by a lot of kids
Up until the early-mid 90s there were the lingering effects of arcade-oriented design where shit was super hard to get your quarters, but yeah even that's not so bad compared to the newer shit that takes your quarters digitally.

Kids can have a little video games as a treat.
