To distinguish in their minds between people possessing free will and such, and people who don't (yet). The first, the adult, is only a victim of their own poor life choices (in this individual responsibility-guilt view on society), their shitty life situation is supposedly their own fault. While children are 'victims'. Thus advocating for equal chances rather than actual equality (which would involve shit like hard capping inheritance etc).
