Well... you can phrase it like some life lesson, sure. In reality 1% of 3 million kids clicking on 'Free vbux!!' and converting is 30,000 kids having malware ridden phones, doing god knows what to god knows who.

Is increasing the profits of malware distributors by so much really worth some hand-wavy "teach kids to become a grown up" lesson?

Also, it's not just the kids. By any margin.
