“Things worked just fine over multi-tap keypad SMS” - did they though? Imagine all the time you spent as a child in front of advertising generation machines, television probably the most, and what you could have done with that time instead if they weren’t around or at the least not quite compelling.
Just because it wasn’t as bad when you were young doesn’t mean it was fine then or now. Kids need to be able to be kids, not preyed upon as revenue streams.
