Given that without this, tiered wages would have remain unchanged and even more unfair - I’m with you on the “hot take”.
The fact that this leaves room for further improvement isn’t necessarily a bad thing; the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and all that.
When this policy is enacted and there are no provable negative impacts to employment figures, then we can go back and push for a further extension to this policy. But first we will need to dispel the FUD around “no one will employ an 18-21yo” if we have to pay them full wages myth.
