Maybe its actually good and normal that children aren't forming life long exploitable emotional attachments to commercial media franchises.

May their development be less arrested than my cohort when they get to our age.

    I don't think it's fair to call the attachment to fiction and whimsy arrested development. It's a normal human thing, it's not the peoples fault that all our entertainment is under the boot of exploitative business practices.

    Also worth mentioning that unfortunately young people are still very much attached and exploited by commercialism. Roblox and Gacha games come into mind.
