For what it's worth I'd agree but just like on Reddit the hive mind opinion on this around here will get you downvoted to oblivion.
Kids that age shouldn't just be able to use a computer unsupervised or have free access to a computer/console like that. Screentime is a thing and its important.
That said, maybe this dude has such regulation and it just doesn't come out in the post.
There is no indication that's it's free unlimited access. I don't get how it being unsupervised is related to screen time.
I'd happily throw minecraft on a phone to a kid in the back seat of the car. I can't see what they are doing, but I know that minecraft not on a public server has very little content inappropriate for a 5 year old, and what little there is doesn't come up if you have peaceful mode on.
