Does anyone know of a good privacy respecting (preferably FOSS) parental control app for Android? I'm trying to convince a friend to get a Pixel with GrapheneOS as their kids next phone but they won't do it unless it let's them control certain things.

They're used to iOS where apparently their kid can request to download an app and they can remotely allow the installation. They can also add screen time beyond the original set limit if the kids requests it.

Unfortunately, I don't think they'd be open to switching if it means losing their parental controls.

Counterpoint: a 22-year-old has been a legal adult for 4 years in basically every western country, is allowed to drink alcohol, and can join the military.

Yeah, but those aren't based on scientific data.

We do a lot of stupid shit simply because it's always been that way, when there are options that make more sense according to scientific data. Letting a 18yrs old join a deadly job is not responsible.
