Kids left to their own devices don't explore the world. They play video games and scroll on social media.

Not if access to those things are limited while providing opportunities for other things that people enjoy.
You don't replace enjoyable things with unenjoyable things and expect the child to become a well-adjusted adult. You give them alternative enjoyable things.
Managing a child's burgeoning dopamine regulation system is a primary function of a parent. Abdicating that function for quick fixes is a form of neglect, in my opinion, just like feeding kids sugary cereals.

Any patch of woods seem to cast an irresistible call to explore on kids.
If that is the world you are providing, that is the world they will explore.

It is not just me who "provides the world" to my children. Also their classmates, etc. And the internet: even when someone uses it to achieve a purpose, there are various ads and algorithms that try to turn you towards something else.
