I finally watched an episode of Bluey because of this post. Bluey is a girl! Who knew?
Cute show, but it doesn't hold a candle to Phineas and Ferb.
Phineas and Ferb is a very well written children's show on Disney, that is somehow able to construct amusing characters with some substance, an A & a B plot in every episode, clever writing and on the whole completely inoffensive, “family friendly” and just generally nice.
My children (25, 22 and 17) have long outgrown it, but when they are all home together for the holidays, will sometimes put it on.
They also had glitches before launch day. I've had Disney+ for about a month (nice of them to use Netherland as their try-out region), and one of the first things I tried was chromecast some old Spiderman cartoons (because my youngest son is a fan). Those that had Dutch translations either failed to play, or failed when I tried to cast them. English-only ones worked fine most of the time.
And in general, support for chromecast was very flaky. It usually works the first time, but when you pause or want to play something else, it loses track of what it was casting or that it's even an option at all.
Still, it's to be expected for a new service. I assume they work hard to fix all the bugs. It's nice to have easy access to all Marvel movies and Phineas and Ferb.
There is an episode of Phineas and Ferb in which the boys decide to spread the word about aglets:

Phineas and Ferb is awesome. I'm 22 and I watch that show.
Your frustration is justified IMO. Among the other interests I had growing up were movies like Johnny Tsunami and Brink where I wanted to get out and be a cool extreme sports athlete like the main characters in those movies. The fact that I picked the tech industry IMO shows that society doesn't always push kids to pick things up from examples, but providing the option to discover interests via same-gendered examples is imperative in my opinion. I really have no data for this other than my own personal experiences, however I did read a blog post maybe a year ago on the effects of television and career path choice which I thought was interesting.
And I would give credit to Disney and Viacom/Nickelodeon for trying to create entertaining sitcoms for kids. It can't be Spongebob and Phineas and Ferb 24 hours a day (although it sure seems like it).
You may think it's crap, but go back and watch the sitcoms you watched as a kid (Brady Bunch for me). It's even worse than you remember.
