The problem I've found with kids' platforms - thinking mostly of YouTube Kids but others too - is that they are so tied down that your children can't get to things that they or indeed that you want them to - often quite educational things, so you end up just giving them access to the adult versions because you want to support their interests. Also, the 'needing to be 12 years old' rule for many sites is a very handy one for parents as it gives you a solid reason for not giving permission for certain sites. It may be widely ignored but it's still very useful and enough parents do adhere to it, that you don't feel like you are making your children an outcast!
