Honestly that is probably because the parents themselves are watching stuff. Having a screen powered on in the room you are eating* and or generally having social interactions sounds mind blowingly stupid to me.
*I would say except from the occasionnal twice a month pizza / popcorns in front of a movie.
My kids are 9 and 12 now and their computer/tablet/phone/switch is in a shelve in a specific room and they perfectly know they will be punished if they use them without asking me. And time is always limited. They are now using the tablet more as a drawing tool on Krita and to play music than anything. When asked for music I sometimes allow more time but I am doing regular checks that they aren't glued to the screen.
