It's totally different being pushed to be creative by being poor and having to fix a computer than buying a raspberry pi or enroll into a javascript course, these two things will only happen with tech parents, and only IF, there are thousands of tech parents that give ipads to their children

There's no reason a kid without tech parents can't find out about the raspberry pi themselves and ask their parents for one. Or purchase it themselves. Just like a poor kid without tech parents in the 80s could find out about the Commodore 64 and buy a broken one and fix it, except now the computer is so cheap that there is no point in buying a broken one.

Being forced to fix things is one way to learn but it not the only way to learn.
