Because most children don't have a severe case of covid-19 doesn't mean that there is no benefit overall.
For once because there are only few severe cases it is much more difficult to assess that there is a benefit. Like if for unvaccinated children 1 in 10_000 has a severe case but for vaccinated it's 1 in 100_000 that's gonna take a while for studies to verify.
There are no reasons to believe that the benefits for society are less than for vaccinated adults. Like less time being infectous and less infectous to begin with.
But yes that has to be weighted against possible detrimental issues but how is that different to any other trial study for a vaccine?

That's why it's being taken seriously when the trial shows more negative results than positive. Instead of picking and choosing to only listen to the trials that suggest to roll out the vaccine to everyone.
