Devil’s advocate, is it really that bad for someone who is a parent to be able to easily zone of their Linux distro for their children? And yeah, I get there are a number of methods to do this like locking down accounts, but something like this would have the potential of automating whom the rules apply to.
Does a good parent place restrictions on what their child can and can’t do? Yes. The thing about bad parents is that they are notoriously irresponsible. They would be the least likely to utilize such a feature.
Using software one doesn’t understand to protect their child looks like a peak of irresponsibility to me.
Understanding Using any software to trying restrict a child seems a sub-optimal way to teach children the computer skills needed to circumvent it. and promotes It encourages them to hide their mistakes from you?

That depends on the parent, doesn’t it? A tool in the wrong hands does the devils work.
Devil’s advocate, does a good parent need this? Honest conversation could automate who the rules apply to.
honest conversation will not supervise the kid while you are away, and we are not living in a fairy tale where kids just magically behave.
except if you can be a stay at home parent to do this manually.
I expect everyone to make mistakes. Is it better to encourage the child to talk about it rather than hide it when they outsmart a lazy child lock?

No it’s a prefectly reasonable stance, but having wrong opinion or even thinking the wrong way is disallowed.
