I agree 120% with you. But I’ve met the parents of some of my grandson’s classmates and they haven’t a clue or limited information on the environment in which their child is growing up. Strongly suspect that my grandson is among the few in his high school class whose parents have their computer and TV at home only in the living room. He is allowed to have a cell phone but only for talking and they check it regularly. He, unlike many kids, does not even seem to mind.
But it sounds like they are making the right rules for their kid —the kid will be better for it.
