To be clear, internships/co-ops/summer jobs can make a lot of sense for university students. But, even new grads, if they get cut after 3 months (and it can take a while for a new grad to get into work life), they're now on the street outside their university placement resources and on-campus interview flow.

I agree with everything you are saying. The temporary nature of a college internship is mutually beneficial. That's not in the case with general employment where workers desire more stability, so employers have to sweeten the deal to bring in equivalent workers.
