They are also quite a bit more pampered and "protected" from the outside world, which arguably makes them spoiled and anxious.

Instead of 'pampered' i think the word should be 'neglected'. Some older people tend to use words like pampered to give the sense that the young people had it "too good" so now they deserve to suffer by not being independent, but that is rarely the case. There is nothing pleasant about a childhood spent in front of screens that leaves one anxious and lacking independence.
Yes, it is surely that young people are just wusses and not that they're also much poorer than previous generations, which forces them to postpone things like marriage, child-rearing, and purchasing a home.
