I honestly thought so too, but after a while of going to absolutely zero screen time she went from requiring constant entertaining to being able to play by herself for hours.
I 100% understand your sentiment though, I used to think no screentime would be playing parenting in HARD mode on, but I'm now convinced SOME screentime is playing parenting in ULTRA HARD mode.

Would you have been able to make the switch with a 3 year old? That’s how old my kid is. If I turn my back for two seconds without a screen to entertain him (assuming he even lets me) he’s 100% going to end up with a letter opener in his eye or something
this is 100% true!
Kids differ, this isn't universally applicable. My 5yo is crazy about screens, loves it, his introverted mind loves to shut itself. My 4yo can go easily without, he plays with toys and talks for them. Same parents, same everything. Absolutely different kids. With the first, clingy crying kid it was impossible to get literally anything done and still is.
