Because the "talent" in this case is a commodity. Most of the low-wage corporation's employees tend to be front-of-house customer facing staff or brown-collar labor, which in most cases does not require any special skill set, nor rewards exceptional talent in most companies. Jobs that are easily replaceable and does not require a degree holder.
Ironically, one of the few places I've seen that actually rewards employees for going above and beyond regularly is Walmart. Entry-level staff who can rise through the ranks with exceptional work can turn from low-wage line workers to store managers who are often paid close to $250k.

- fakedang 1y agoAhh, perhaps I was taught wrong. We used to be taught where I'm from that brown-collar meant dirty industries (including black-collar jobs in the above list such as oil-drilling, etc) and agriculture, while blue collar meant a step more technical but still did not require a college education (home technicians, factory jobs, delivery personnel, etc.).
