Lmao you are a bad parent if you decide to have kids and then expect the world to take care of them for you

Okay, assuming that’s the case for the sake of argument, that’s still a huge problem right? Kids raised by bad parents suffer, which is inhumane. And if you don’t care about that, they also cause problems or costs for society at large (especially if there are a lot of them).

Those are bad outcomes. So is it any wonder that we look for policy/regulatory issues to mitigate the harms of bad parenting?

Okay assuming you're right that society can offset this bad parenting.

Maybe a more prudent first step is giving these kids free breakfast, lunch, and dinner before putting state mandated age verification on a computer.

No argument here!
