I think a lot of materials, toys, etc. already focus a lot on the imagination and creativity. Even if Swift Playgrounds is heavier on the tactical/technical side and provides limitations.. it's something that isn't currently there for a lot of kids. There needs to be a baseline to learn some technical knowledge.
Also I think the hand-holding can greatly contribute to pushing some kids "over the edge" who otherwise wouldn't have taken that extra effort to get up a steeper learning curve.
It's not the only solution but it's a really good contribution to tech literacy IMO.

Comment this on the article itself. Would be interested to see some back and forth with Erik on these rebuttals.
