The parental controls on Nintendo Switch are a joke. Barely any options to be useful.

For example, try blocking a specific app, like YouTube.

I think that's one a the biggest problems, when a company adds parental controls. It's usually minimal effort. Just enough so they can say "see, we give parents control". It's a PR move.

More than doing the bare minimum as a PR move I think it just has to do with such options being of limited practicality. No amount of that kind of tinker knob beats the effectiveness and manageability of requiring approval to download anything, which the Switch does support.
