> Remember the brazenness in which they booted third-party screen time and parental control apps from the app store after the introduction of Screen Time.
You misremember. Apple sherlocked RescueTime and brought it to iOS, where no such app existed because the platform security model prevents an app from snooping on other apps and websites. Developers were upset that Apple didn't give them access to the same functionality; Apple eventually released an API (but it doesn't look like RescueTime uses it, even today).
