BUG: Screentime Content Restriction App Age forces child to enter password 3 times

If you enable Screentime and set an age for Apps under Screentime > Content & Privacy Restrictions > Content Restrictions, then every time the child wants to install the app it asks for the password 3 times (once to get, once to buy (even if free), then after approval, a third time to install.

The Accounts->Media & Passwords->Password settings screen becomes greyed out and the slider for not asking for password for free downloads is forced to always ask.

Even worse, it asks for a password every time you want to update an app too. So every time my child's apps broke because they needed an update, I was having to enter their password. If you need to update 30 apps, you have to enter the password 30 times!

After fighting for this for over a year with my child using his iPad less than he would have if not for this inconvenience, I finally found the workaround of disabling the age restriction on apps. As I have the Ask to Buy family sharing setting enabled, I still have to approve the app on my side which is exactly how I want things.

With this workaround, I just have to be careful to make sure I only approve age approach apps (which I should do anyways). However, it still feels less safe not having the age restriction parental setting enabled.

Please fix this bug! I am sure this bug is a nightmare for many other parents.
