no actually you're wrong. let me give an example. I am a consultant. I could get a project that I think an intern could learn from maybe designing a network or migrating from one protocol to another eg (ospf to ISIS) or implementing IPv6 for a network. All highly valuable skills and experiences.
I might actually not have money to pay someone, might not even need one but decide to work with an intern with potential that I have identified maybe at one of our meetings for them to get the experience.
I wont get into an argument on what is right or wrong, what I can tell you is THAT experience would be worthwhile, and whether or not I pay the intern I still believe it would do more for them in the future than a paid internship as a guy that pulls cables somewhere. these are just examples.
It is total arrogance to assume you can sit on the sidelines of a debate like this and make judgement. It is very subjective.

I believe if an student comes to your company looking for internship
then it may make sense not to pay him.
But where you actually advertise, and are looking for experience, as
is in this case, then its clear you are not looking for a raw beginner
just so that you can offer him/her training facilities (in which case
you even have a right to charge him)
This is a case where the company is a few hands short for a temporary
yet not fixed period and is seeking to fill that vacancy.
They should consider some sort of stipend. Some might even call it remuneration.
