I'm assuming you would also want to prohibit these "naive kids" from ever browsing the Internet too, am I right?

There is a difference between a web site you visit and a general purpose computer which you purchase. I'm all for the freedom of using apps not officially distributed/approved by Apple. They can still be sandboxed and use the same APIs. But they should be allowed to use whatever payment service they want.
