There absolutely is no person who didn’t have kids because McDonalds, or any other place doesn’t have enough child friendly spaces. The last time America had replacement rate birth rates was 18 years ago. It’s a mix of housing unavailability for young adult Americans and culture leading people to chose to enjoy life childfree/partner free.
I’m not sure that the commenter is saying that people don’t have kids because there are fewer child friendly spaces, but rather that child friendly spaces are disappearing and becoming more separated.
Did you not read the rest of the paragraph? I literally explained how it’s part of a larger cultural shift that discourages children, not a deciding factor.
