This.

My wife and I have 5 kids. The two eldest have phones (Pinwheel phones), and we also have a Switch and some tablets. When asked about playing on devices, we have told them more than a few times to go play with toys or to just go outside (weather permitting). Sometimes a tantrum happens, at which point they lose all device privileges for a certain amount of time until they shape up.
