…so why are people so up in arms against bans and restrictions on children having access to social media, where they have even less oversight and can do so themselves?

As for groomers on Roblox, this just sounds like https://www.techdirt.com/2019/11/20/masnicks-impossibility-theorem-content-moderation-scale-is-impossible-to-do-well/
I got my first own computer at age 10 and from then on usually browsed the Internet unsupervised.
I remember that for the first few years of doing so, I took age checks very seriously. A website says “this is an adult website, you must be over 18”? I would click cancel. A forum has a checkbox “I agree to the terms and conditions and am at least 13 years old”? Not registering there (a few years later: wait, I can now honestly say yes to this!).
This of course changed when I became a teenager, but I knew what I was getting into at that point. I don’t think this is that atypical…
You’re not caught up with the Schlep-Roblox controversy, are you?
No, I don’t recall hearing about it before (maybe because I find Roblox an utterly uninteresting topic); reading up on it now.
