Why do so many people get kittens too young?

It seems to me that many people don’t realize that cats shouldn’t leave their mother before 8 weeks bare minimum. Good cat breeders keep the kittens until they’re 12 weeks old. People seem to know this with dogs but completely ignore it with cats, snatching away cats from 2-7 weeks old all the time. It’s not good for the kitties and should be a last resort(orphaned kitten, etc.) I was just wondering why people get kittens this young instead of waiting until they are old enough to be weened. Any input?
