I don't mind the lock, but why don't we have the key? There's no reason to centally hold these hostage.

The problem you are describing will be irrelevant in a generation or two, as kids grow up on the internet.
I can assure you that the upcoming generations aren't much better at any of this, on average.
And no, it's not smartphones' faults. Most people just don't "get" desktop OS paradigms, or how web pages work, or any of that, and they don't really care to.

That's because they "won't miss freedom they never had".

Nah dude. Most young people nowadays have an inbuilt sense of which links are sus; it's not exactly rocket science. If it looks sus, it is.
Do they deserve to not be able to shop online without fear of having their payment information stolen? Or mistyping a URL in their non native language and ending up at a scam website that installs malware? Or simply having a device that comes to a crawl such that they cannot reliably video call their grandkids?
