I share the sentiment of interns being the ones to pay to learn valuable skills from the companies they get sent to. But if you consider the nature of most internships, you'd realize that zero payment for the work done gives the authorities easy access to manipulate and exploit the interns.

By the way, most interns are not given everything they need on a platter. They are shown the ropes but they also work hard and contribute to the workforce, so paying them for the time and efforts should be normalized across all boards. Nice to read from you.🙂
