I can see some parents using this to avoid a confrontation with their kid. If the kid is gonna argue with you over how long he's using the game I see that as a negative thing that could benefit from the parent actually physically intervening. When the kid would be argumentative it would be best for them to learn NOT to argue and it's a teaching opportunity that the parent would miss out on.
Only real benefit that I can see is if the kid is old enough to stay home alone, the parent works long hours and wants to be sure the kid doesn't play games all afternoon after school. Though even in this situation and kid shouldn't be left alone that long if they are unable to self regulate their activities better.
Pretty much a cop-out in my opinion and not worth the effort to build it.
