It's better at holding their attention, but is it actually better?

My impression was that a lot of the content was effectively "attention slop", bright colors and noises, often with very little sense to them, or just variations of the same rhymes a 90's baby would've been raised on.

A lot of it seemed to cross over from just being stimulating to being overstimulating.

As Weller said, that's entertainment. Saying something's slop is like saying it's trash, ie something you don't like.

I'd like to believe that people have a bit more in mind for children's entertainment than just overstimulating their developing visual and auditory cortices for 8 hours a day.

pure speculation, and dare I say, hysteria

Yeah? Then heroin is also ice cream.
