It's more like - they let kids play, and those playing kids make stuff other kids like.
It's like letting kids play with LEGO, and then being able to share their creations online (which is a thing). LEGO is not an empire built on child labor. It's an empire built because kids like playing with LEGO.
Roblox is no different. Calling it "child labor" with all the bad connotations that go along with it is simply designed to grab headlines or spread fear mongering.
That kids can make money, which not all kids want at the ages Roblox is really popular, is a plus. If I could have sold LEGO designs as a kid I would have loved it.
It also lets kids learn a lot of entrepreneurial skills if they have that bent, which I view as a massive plus.
