The masses are free to opt-in to babyNet. They can use a SafeDNS provider. It can be zero-touch even. Just push a DNS / DoH resolver through DHCP for the customer. (IETF RFC is coming for DoH provisioning.)
But let the default be safe.
Of course this is usually a foreign concept to laypeople.
But to address the "accidentally CP" argument. How does that happen? You have to "accidentally" type something into Google/Bing/Yahoo and then click through. Or you "accidentally" have to start somewhere. And if you go to any for profit pornsite (camsites, streamsites, blablabla), or even just a porn subreddit, or type porn (or some explicit search terms) into a search engine.... you don't get to anything illegal. Why? Because that's bad for business.
So ... it seems like a perfect excuse. It maybe worked for the first closeted gay senator/representative... but never since. So why are we still talking about it as something that "accidentally" happens?
