Haven't you heard those stories about parents attaching their credit cards to theita children's accounts on Fornite and then by the end of the month receiving a bill of thousands of dollars? because the kid could not help to use the card to buy as many skins and collectibles as possible, because they caught his attention from the beginning.
There are also stories of teens which are allowed to open accounts on trading applications or trading platforms (Like Robinhood) and they start to mess with options and features they do not even understand, for the sake of getting profits as fast as possible... in the end it turns into gambling with Bitcoin Futures where they lose money.
I don't know about you, but attaching one's credit card to the account of one's children so they can buy anything sounds like a symptom of bad parenting to me. I would prefer to have a kid who understand the actual value of the money he is throwing away for skins, instead of that.
