Millennials never spent like >6-8 hours a day on phones doing nothing productive.

Yes, as adults we now spend loads of time in our places of work on devices but generally in the pursuits of doing productive things.

And while I haven't looked up the stats, I don't feel like it's exceedingly more dangerous for kids to play outside today than it was back in the 00's, 90's, 90's etc. I just feel as though we're more aware of the dangers of what _could_ happen to kids - all of which is a facet of the media/social media pressure and scaremongering.

Plus there are still loads of feral kids allowed to roam around and be little shits anyway.
