My guess is that computer/TV time tends to exacerbate bad eating/exercising habits in a way that reading a book does not. Books tend not to have commercials aimed at children advertising junk food, for example. And books end, giving you a natural pause and a chance to change up your activity level... TV and the internet does not.

Re: reading, I don't know what the text of Final Fantasy involves, but does it contain a narrative as lengthy and complicated as a full length novel? It's possible that many screen time activities are simply more passive and less mentally engaging than reading a book. That seems fair.

Look, you don't have to believe it, but I don't have kids and yet I know this is a really, really common recommendation pediatricians give to parents of young children. Even if you take the position that there's not enough evidence that screen time is harmful, there's certainly some suggestion that it might be... and that seems a good enough reason to limit it and only use it in moderation.
