I cannot even fathom this being true. If it is, then you/your kids are the severe minority. I cannot base anything off that vague comment. What apps did they use, how long ,etc. I mean, 5 years old? Seriously?....

I loaded on up with educational apps, and one dumb (easy) addictive game.

They gave up on the addictive game, but occasionally still play the educational stuff. 22 learn, baby words, abby monkey, etc etc

no worries. I think the ability to keep repeating boring AF things really helps with early learning. My boy can count to 100 and beyond, is figuring out words and spelling, knows his alphabet and a bunch of countries, animals, foods, shapes etc etc all due to those apps. They are great! Not sure what he's going to do when he reaches school age.
