This issue has been affecting YouTube for a long time. No one seems to know that there's been a "YouTube Kids" app for years. It has built in age restrictions on content, restricted advertising, comments, parental controls, etc. However, it gets zero attention, and regular YouTube has been neutered to be more child-friendly regardless of the platform that's actually tailored for children. It would be like Adult Swim forcing their show runners to make their content safe for kids, all the while Teletoon runs kids content all day.
