> This would be ideal, but as with the iPhone solution, there is a serious question about affordability. A Pixel 7 currently has 2 more years of support. A refurbished Pixel 7 may be in range for average families, depending on how many kids they have. A Pixel 8 has 4 more years of support, but even a refurbished Pixel 8 will be unaffordable for many families with normal incomes.
I know that Pixels are not the cheapest phones, but especially the older models are also not very expensive.
I cant speak for the whole world but I think they are affordable with an average european income and especially with an average US income

Would be great and I dont think they need accounts or servers.
Just a local option to set rules like: no use between this and this time
And protect the rules with a password
