Not entirely true. When kids used to go outside, they went alone outside since the age of 6 or even 5. That is impossible now. In order for kids to go outside, an adult must be there with them. That is adult bored on playground, cant cook, cant clean, cant socialize with friends, cant have fun. So adults wont go.
And then by the time kids are allowed to go outside, they dont know what to do there, other kids are not there and they are too old.
