1- it calls a spade a spade: we already have theories of how Capitalism works, and none of the other replies named it. Giving a name to the problem is the first step in fighting it.
2- it explicitly calls out: "it makes them money", which is also factual and not explicitly mentioned by the other comments. They mention a "perceived labor shortage", but it doesn't clarify the fact that fighting that gets more money in the pocket of some people
Of course, the grandparent comment should've been a bit clearer in how this makes people money. I think the answer is twofold:
1- it increases the reserve army of labor
2- the minimum wage is often lower for younger people (the excuse is that this is training for them)
