After that whole debacle with YouTube and the COPPA, I sort-of wonder if YouTube Kids has to do with anything anyone actually wants, or if it's pretty much just there to serve some kind of purpose for their optics.

My take is that it is what they want. That is, they want parents to put in a fair bit of effort to get their kids engaged.

This is backwards from what parents typically want, as managing another stream of content is obnoxious.
