YMMV, but we have a four year old daughter and have liberally allowed screen time throughout her life with some minor restrictions via parental controls. She's learned so much from the content. We're a non-english home and a lot of her early english words/conversations were absorbed from Word Party (Netflix). Additionally we've found that Daniel Tiger via the PBS app is a great children's show. She also has a couple educational games (Khan Academy, etc) and she's really excited whenever she learns something new. Contrast that to my upbringing where I wasn't allowed to watch tv or use the computer at all until High School, and only with strict supervision. For a long time I was able unable to control myself as I had never developed that skillset. My daughter is already controlling herself and has lots of other interests where too much "screen time" hasn't been a problem. I think she doesn't view screen time isn't a limited resource contrasted to some of her friends where "screen time" has now become a scheduled and limited part of their day. All that being said, each child is incredibly different and I'm sure our son will have a radically different set of challenges.
