Because that is something you do for your children if you can afford to do it. It gives them a headstart in life without having the burdon of educational debt. It isn't a case of who's responsibility it is, it's a case of can you reasonably afford to do it.

Not to be too blunt, but when it comes to providing an education for your kids, but some folks can't and some folks can; those that can typically do.
