The alternative is to build up a reputation, so when a new $studio film comes out, people are excited about it because $studio has a history of making good films. I think Pixar is/was a good example of this.

Every studio that has focus on children is smart marketing.

Children > parents.

If you are a parent, don't you go to a child friendly restaurant that is reasonable good instead of one that is very good but not child-friendly.

That only works if the films are still good though. Pixar has had a couple of bombs, The Good Dinosaur for one.
