parental control software is (supposed to be) what it says it on the tin: software that lets the parent to set up limitations on the device.

By enabling controls? You can prevent generic internet access and installing apps. I won’t be giving my kid access unfettered to the internet until they are much older. And let’s be clear, the owner of my kids phone is me. My respect for their privacy extends to not looking over their shoulder when messaging friends. It doesn’t extend to letting them install whatever or scan some random qr code or calling/receiving with numbers not in their contacts.
