Nah, opt in feature like this is better. Because it is actually useable for parents. The all in everything locked kids modes are too much of annoyance for everyone involved to be used.

Maybe the locked mode for children should be required by the law because many parents are too lazy or not competent enough to setup a phone properly for their kids.

Nice try, but no. If you create ridiculous hurdles, people won't use it.

Meanwhile, the opt in button for this is simple, clear and easy.
