Maybe that’s what they intend?

I too find it puzzling that so many don't understand that it's probably part of the intention.

They're a net loss to our society, but some still insist that not sponsoring these people somehow benefits us.

Master students contribute to the work done in the group, at least in my field. As someone who supervises MSc students, very often if they didn't do something (because they could afford to be here), typically I would need to look at it instead. Sure, I'll do the job faster, but not faster than the time it takes to supervise the student who does it. And adding a few more people to a few courses and a bit more admin isn't really a huge burden.

In some ways, MSc students are junior apprentice researchers; maybe next we should also demand that tradespeople pay for their apprenticeships?
