Instead of an itemized list of what you bought and how much each item cost,

and fees charged by non-government entities such as owners of utility poles.

Itemized for each pole?

To be fair, they know that if Mom finds out they OK'd something she would not approve of, the repercussions won't be worth it.

But just telling a kid "No mobile app. No social media account." doesn't carry the same weight?

To be fair, if you are the only parent saying "No" then it's tough to take that stand. But it's the school or the state making the rules for everyone. So you can just tell your kid, "Sorry. It's the weekend. I'll pop by juvenile hall and bail you out on Monday."

Back in the day, I was pretty good at forging my parents signatures. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
