Because our culture has transformed its perception of what a good parent is. Part of that is now that unsupervised play is seen as bad parenting. So it just doesn't happen anymore.

Sad, really. Us older Millenials were the last ones to play outside in the summer, unsupervised.

Along with us losing a lot of third spaces, this is just not healthy.

Plenty of parents let their kids out unsupervised still.
you seem to be assuming affluent suburbs parents are the only ones that exist.

the real issue is that 1: theres nowhere to play 2: it fucking sucks outside for a variety of reasons including stroads, pollution and climate change and 3: electronic entertainment is literally designed to be more fun, and it is.
