iPads actually have really great parental controls. Probably you can’t go wrong with an iPad (although you can question how early kids should have any electronic devices in general). The problem definitely isn’t a lack of strong parental controls though. Maybe you could argue if your kid has say a windows desktop and an iPad and a Chromebook, dealing with the parental controls on all three separate ecosystems is a huge pain compared to if they had all Apple devices. Maybe there could be some standardized open parental control protocol that every OS could support that would let parents easily control all devices at once. I think we’re in a better place than we’ve ever been though in terms of easy-to-use tools for keeping your kids off things you don’t want them to see, porn sites have been labeling themselves using RTA to give internet filters an easy way to filter them out. There’s honestly been so much progress in keeping kids off porn sites and I feel like this sudden ban wave is putting a huge wrench in all that effort and possibly exposing kids to shadier porn sites that don’t want to follow the law (there’s plenty of sites accessible on the open internet for piracy for example so it’s fairly easy to get away with breaking the law).
