You are partially right. But when I grew up there simply weren't that many things to tempt children as there are now. Even if I had wanted to have some there was no fast food around, there were no smart phones, no Facebook, no cable TV. We had to find ways to occupy ourselves be it reading or playing some games. It's hard for parents to fight off all these temptations.
