Right, that means only wealthy photographers (from family, etc.) can do this.

This is where the injustice comes from when ‘unpaid internships’ equals we only want rich kids to work for us. It’s how the situation propagates through time.

How does it benefit an organization to have rich kids working for them for free?

The organization may not care, but for them it is free.

So what's the problem exactly? The rich kids who don't need the money get exploited for free labor, and?

They still get valuable experience that pays off in the future through networking, experience, etc. It starts the snowball of success.
