I would not beat myselfe up too much in this situation. I happen to have two children who were risen almost identically with little to none restriction of access to phones, tablets, streaming and computer games.
Older daughter just turned 10 years old and is reading more books than I (she even got her own library card made Matilda style), has quite good sport results (third place at schools olimpic running with older children), and even have time to do some group dancing, bringing handful of medals from competitions. And she is doing all this while spending lots of time with her friends outside.
My 7 years old son, on the other hand, is none of this. After two years of access to tablet he still have problems with letting it go. An he does not want to start reading anything, despite me reading him books for most of his life.
I think, we as parents, like to believe that we have some influence over "emerged" behaviours of our children, but somehow in the end it all comes down to their nature and is mostly accidental.
