Because people are willing to devalue their worth in exchange for experience so they can then use that experience to attain higher paying jobs that demand more experience. Just as it happens in every industry. As I have said CA or FO is just an arbitrary title at your company. The longer you have done "x" the more experience you have and thus the more compensation you should have.
