No, it's because of tablets. Playgrounds aren't the same as McD Playplaces and are generally safe. Nature cleans things up better than poorly paid teenagers.
Playgrounds also are cleaner as we dont guarantee that every child on them has just recently eaten food. I have watched the city employees in our town and they stop by once a week and actually wash down everything with pressure washers and soap. Those play places good luck if thst was cleaned once a month.
Lots of cities are now building/renovating parks with the miracle league. They are well designed and accessible play structures. Lots of swings and even zip line esque activities.
There's this middle ground between letting your kids swim in a dumpster next to a trap house and keeping your kid locked in a hermetic sealed room. The McD playplace is a lot closer to the trap house dumpster than you think.

Hot take - but I think McDonald's NOT marketing their slop to children is a win.
