I mean it's simple. Once you see how the sausage is made you obviously don't want your kids involved. Fundamentally most tech products are made with the goal of exploiting human behavior in order to increase engagement with the product.

I don't think it's that, really. I mean to some degree (there's a blurb in the article about Gates limiting screen time due to an unhealthy attachment to a game), but not completely. Both Gates and Jobs saw the transition of no Personal Computers on up to smartphones, etc. Because of that I think they still understood the importance of going analog. Being in the field they understood there's more to life than computers.
