Supply and demand
There are only so many positions available
And some fields have way way more graduates than there are such positions.
So like everything it becomes a competition
The reason many employers want experience is that so many people graduate with decent grade points without having actually mastered what is needed to successfully perform in their chosen field. Grade inflation is out of control and many programs have become so easy that almost anyone could get through them. This causes devaluation of degrees
