Blaming other parents is great and probably correct, but putting blame on things outside of your control is a cop out.

Why don't you move to an area that's not like that, or you go an play with your kid at the park until other kids show up.

or build an app that makes the makes scheduling the play time very seamless.

Yeah dude why don't you take your 14 year-old to the park to play with their mom or just launch a startup to solve this problem.

It's actually a great opportunity to teach your kid to code so they can learn to solve their own problems by learning to launch their own startups.

Teaching your kid to code is not even close to replacing social interaction with their peers. (In case your comment wasn't sarcasm)
