I don't have kids, but have the same viewpoint from my personal experience growing up.
Anything that is built to 'encourage child engagement' usually comes off as patronizing or boring.
I learned about tech early on because I had natural curiosity and interest in it. My parents never went out of their way to 'encourage' me to learn about tech, and the things they did try to get me interested in never really stuck with me.
The teaching toys are just toys, and will be treated as such.
