It's illegal because, um. Even if work is important, or enjoyable, it's still taking away time you could be spending doing other things, like being with friends, or. Or sleeping.

And most people, no matter how much they love what they do, wouldn't have enough money to buy food or pay rent or save up for other important things, if their work didn't pay them for their time. So even if you can afford to work for no pay, and want to work all day long, it's not fair to do that, because, um. Basically, think about it like this? Bosses are usually going to look for whoever can do the job to their standards for the lowest cost, so they can make the most profit. If you show up and offer to do it for nothing, then other workers, who need the money, are going to look worse to potential bosses, who are going to ask why they can't be more like you.
[ He thinks that makes sense? Anyway. ]
And also you're really good at what you do, and it's not fair for Mister Krabs to make money off of that if you aren't recognized for what you're contributing. Even if you don't want the money, it's not fair for him to keep it all for himself if you're doing the work.
