I've also noticed my kids trying to press things on my screen. Before, when they didn't know better, they would keep accidentally scrolling a little when trying to press something, because that's how much force trying to press something real and physical usually requires.
But you can actually see, with your own eyes, the moment as they notice how their real world experience is not useful to apply to a touch screen. They have to adapt and be extra gentle and careful when tapping to activate stuff, so at not to scroll.
Tell grandma with Parkinson's to "adapt". While not as ubiquitus a disability as daltonism or blindness, interfaces should still cater to people with them.
When it's kids adapting it's fun. When it's someone with tremors physically incapable of gently and precisely tapping the exact 5px, it's just bad design.
I've yet to see an accessibility setting for this very valid usecase.
