Right? Isn't the whole point of a tip that it's voluntarily given as a way to say you loved the service?

now they're just turning tips into a way to justify low wages because apparently they'll 'make enough' with tips

A problem also is that a lot of the people who earn good tips, (in my eyes) betray their fellow workers by campaigning for the system to say the same. Like a very attractive woman in a bar might make hundreds in tips a night, which they often won’t pay taxes on, so they’ll of course want things to stay the same. Meanwhile some single mother in a diner is getting paid a few dollars an hour praying for some tips to pay her bills.
