There’s a pretty wide suite of options built into iOS which lets parents restrict their child’s usage. It’s actually a problem they cared about a lot and spent many millions on, it’s a bit disingenuous to say Apple doesn’t put control in parent’s hands here.

Which parental control features exist in Ubuntu which are lacking in iOS?

My issue is that you can control time on iOS. But you can't control the individual apps and it is the wild west with every other app control, like YouTube. They offer controls but they are all completely different and it is exhausting to keep up with the different options. The kids have more energy to creep through the guardrails. I think that's by design, it isn't YouTube's business model to stop people from watching.
Companies sure get to control what their employees can see or do on their devices.

Corporate mobile device management (MDM) policies can do a lot more for both on apple and android. Maybe that's somewhere to look.
