It's a well known fact that it is quite difficult for some parents to setup and use parental controls, I believe it was just to fully explain it to people that might not know much about how parental controls work.

its a developer presentation not a consumer one. Save it for the iPad refresh when parents are watching rather than wasting dev time on it.

Even then it could have been 15% of the time with literally the same info.

It used to be a developer presentation. Now the main WWDC keynote is just another product-focused Apple event (since it might as well be one if the tech press is already flying out for it), and the more in-the-weeds developer talks are held on other days.

And how many parents are watching a WWDC presentation?

More than you think. This stuff also percolates into the news, blogs, YouTube videos, etc, and that also reaches more parents.

Maybe not the whole thing, but bits a pieces will filter down in clips on other social media platforms

Lots of governments. In the UK this has come up again in the past few days.

This came across as part lip service, part cheeky “this should be the parent’s job, not the state”.
