Q: Why do my kids have to know their Apple ID password if "Ask to Buy" is turned on?

Why do my kids have to know their Apple ID password if "Ask to Buy" is turned on?  I would like to setup family sharing so that my kids don't have to enter their password to request to make purchases.  Given the password complexity requirements and lock out features, this seems like it will be more work than its worth.  I want to leverage (I think) the Family Sharing features without giving my kids their passwords, etc.

 

There should be a way for me to completely manage their IDs, content, devices, etc through my Primary Family share account without them ever needing to know their passwords.
