I can't imagine going iOS. I absolutely cannot. My sister recently switched to an iPhone, and everyone told her that's stupid, and she hates it, but she has to because her daughter's school has only iPads and the whole parental control doesn't work very well in that regard. I wonder whether it's largely via such avenues that Apple gets a foothold and then due to their utterly closed ecosystem design they can spread throughout families and groups of friends once in. I know they target students heavily for macbooks for example.
What do you mean it doesn't work very well? But they're using screen time plus content and privacy restrictions, you should be able to just set a pin on the device itself. With no need to remote manage through family sharing
