Good parenting! I hate to see most parents nowadays give their children unsupervised access to the mindless brainrot boxes that are smartphones or tablets. Personally, having grown up with computers (and an analogue screentime limit), figuring things out through one's own curiosity is the way to learn about how things work and how to solve problems on your own.

Your words are kind and, for the most part, accurate. I will say the kid still has a tablet (in fact I can hear them watching it now while playing sorting games with fabric boxes). Initially we got them a Kindle due to the price, but pretty quickly I switched them to Android because, while I'd prefer them not to be locked into any ecosystem, if I have to choose one Android seems like the best option (and the Amazon variant possibly the worst).

I've toyed with the idea of getting them a used iPad so they could practice with most of what they're likely to encounter, but I haven't been able to justify it in my head.

That said... Having a kid interested and well versed in Linux sounds like an amazing thing to me.
