The quality of life of kids has degraded at least in the US and no not primarily from smartphones and social media.

The answer is simple, life is harder for parents.

And also the lack of third places making it a lot harder for both adults and kids to get together with friends in person without having to spend money

Also the move towards car-centric infrastructure. Which is somewhat related to the lack of 3rd places.
