yeah, but lot's of bad parents exist. Which is why there are laws around kids having to be in school, etc.

Maybe fine the parents if the kids get caught. Teaches them to teach their children better.

Homework requires internet-connected devices (I guess you can semi-supervise that, but it becomes harder as they become older as you don't want to sit there watching them do all their homework).

There is also a cost socially, which is hard to navigate as a parent. If everybody is talking about minecraft every break and playing it together in the evenings, then it's hard for them if they haven't even seen the game.
