I think because "screens" are 2-D and little kids need to learn that things are 3-D. Also, screens don't have texture. Everything on a screen is artificial, which is fine once you understand what it is trying to represent, but not before.

And yes, it's not clear that iPads are a problem. But it's not clear that they aren't, and you are messing around with their brain wiring.
