I don't see there being a contradiction, and think there is an obvious difference between people demanding to exclude paying humans from a cabin and those asking for those in a cabin to have a modicum of respect for others around. As the linked article discusses, it is not "certain" that a child will be more disruptive in a cabin than an adult. It is certain that playing music/video without headphones is disruptive.
