> their social lives were never impacted.

This is hard to believe to the point of me thinking your kids were in a plato's cave. It was not possible to have a normal social life without social media as a teenager over the last 10 years. Full stop. You will miss out on events because you can not be invited the normal way. Whether that's a big deal or not is certainly debatable, but claiming that it doesn't exist is ostrich behavior.

Perhaps you are the one in Plato’s cave, unable to imagine that a life without social media can be viable and normal?
Well, that has not been our experience. Sorry to burst your bubble.
The people in the cave weren't experiencing reality either.
