Why do travel companies charge for kids then add supplements?

Does anyone know why travel companies do this? For example, a room for 5 people is £500 per adult. So you pay £1000 for 2 adults. The kids are reduced to £250 each so thats another £750. So thats £1750 all together. But then you have to pay supplements for the other 3 adults that are not going. It takes it to more than it would be for 5 adults anyway. Does anyone know what I mean because I know that I have rambled on a bit, but I just do NOT understand. Its even better when a child place is free but then all the supplements are added on for under ocupancy even tghough the room is full.

The company we usually use don't charge for children full stop. Plus they count children as children until they turn 18 not 12 like most other travel firms

I don't understand it either TBH. I mean kids can and do eat as much as adults, they take a bed the same as an adult and use the facilities the same as an adult so why not just charge them adult prices, huh? lol

Seriously, I have no idea
