Ask HN: What is it with this hate and disdain for interns/junior engineers?

Some examples of this that I have seen so often:

No openings for interns or junior engineers, yet the companies and people I talk with, the senior engineers get sick often, lack drive and take longer PTO and their work isn't really that adequate.

Blaming interns or junior engineers for simple mistakes, which the senior which also should have seen.

Not training interns or junior engineers to become senior and be given more responsibility, I'm assuming we are all aware of the bus factor
