If my daughter's around me I don't interact with my phone beyond the odd emergency - I'd rather play and talk to her. I'm not particularly anti-screen time (it's impossible to avoid, working in tech) but seeing what a lot of adults consider normal usage is terrifying.
I feel a lot of our generation take the attitude that screen time didn't harm us (hey, we've done ok) which I'm not sold on - I wonder sometimes how I might have turned out if I didn't spend so much time on video games or messing around online as a kid.
