It's not restricted. It's less capable. Entirely different thing. And they'll view it as a completely different device for different purpose (voice calls vs. doom scrolling).

Specifically designed to be less capable is the same as being restricted. It's purpose is explicitly to restrict the user communication to some predefined setting by a third party (the parent and company behind it) and the user is well aware of that, as this e-waste cost as much as a cheap or second hand smartphone.
It's not "restricted", it's designed to serve a different purpose. A bicycle is not a "restricted" car.
The jukebox I got for my basement is not a restricted Spotify-enabled smart speaker. It's a different device that does something different.
First, you got it for yourself, so you chose to use a jukebox (or in other words : restrict your listening to specific titles on physical media) instead to impose it to other, which make a big difference in what people see as a restrictions(instead of a choice, which is self inflicted).
Chosing a Tin Can is obviously to restrict your kid usage of communication, it's the nature of the purchase of the device.
