This was way more confusing than it had to be.

TL;DR: You can lend your digital games to friends & family for 14 days, but both consoles need to connect locally to enable this...(?)

You can't play digital games you've lent out during this time. I guess the point is making it similar to giving your friend a physical game cartridge.

For child accounts the trust might extend to blocking purchases in the general case and having the kids send purchase requests to the parent for approval.

Of course this leaves the child account restricted is such a manner it would be unappealing if there wasn't an actual parent-child relationship IRL.
