If you think this is controversial you might have a boundary problem.

Not quite.

It's accurate to say that this IS controversial. That is made evident by the opposing opinions in the comments here.

Edit to add:

A thing is not controversial because you disagree with it, a thing is controversial when it causes people to disagree with each other about it.

And thus a successful ad. They deliberately chose the least controversial interaction possible, hugging grandparents, to create engagement and conversation.
