There is an assumption in a class that you are there to learn the curriculum in some way.
The seniors in this case are interested only in the other students. The class/coursework is only a prop for them to force interactions with other students.
I don't think it's violence, but it's certainly unethical, and makes the class a "joke" for senior students to interfere with others learning.
Imagine taking your first CS course and you get paired with someone who does the entire project before you can grapple with the question, An important part of the class has been taken from you.
They can offer to "teach you how" but they have little motivation (or even skil) to actually do a good job.

We’re talking about a university, not someplace whose sole or primary purpose is learning. The assumption in a university classroom is that students are there to earn a grade and a credential.

I opened an IDE and it did my first assignment for me as part of the opening screen. In no way did it prevent me from learning hello world I did miss out on properly learning what a Jacobian is and how to work with it intuitively because a buddy and I did two different class projects together and did a project from each solo, but I don't think the project would have done the job on the learning. The most important learning from university is that you're in charge of your own learning. Just because said partner can do the whole thing doesn't mean you're off the hook
