That's a pretty uncharitable way to look at it. I don't have kids but it's a lot easier to imagine that they're thinking something more like "I'd rather not take chances with my kids' health". It may not be particularly rational when you consider the time cost, but it's a hell of a lot more understandable than insultingly assuming they're "starved for entertainment or human contact". In general, plausible explanations that don't require being a dick tend to be better.

I wasn't "explaining" anything, as I clearly stated that I didn't understand it. One will assume what they assume when there is a lack of information, whether you find it insulting or not.
