They do exist, and start with block all apps. I used one such on my kids iPhones. There were a few features of value but notably I cared more about preventing excessive use or staying up all night.
I do start with blocking by default but opened things up on demand. You could argue that feature wasn’t useful but at least it made me think about things before I allowed them.
Now that they’re young adults I obviously don’t have parental controls but it’s also worse in some ways. For both Amazon and apple I’m forced to have my credit card on file in order to use family sharing, but now that they’ve aged out of parental controls my reedit card is too easy to accidentally use
You can’t protect them from the internet, the best you can hope for is to ease them in with guidance and hope they’ve learned enough to protect themselves
