What people still want to go to law school? For anyone not attending a T14 school, it's generally money poorly spent as law school graduate salaries are bi-modal (https://www.nalp.org/salarydistrib) with the "big law" firms hiring mostly from the same 14 schools. For people outside that rarefied air, it's a financial loser.
Yale's argument about public interest law is goofy anyway. If you want to do non-profit shit, you might as well spend less at Temple or Rutgers and reserve the T14 spots for people who need the pedigree to justify their hire at a white shoe firm.

Even a modest scholarship makes it worthwhile faster, and those statistics even identify that their small firms numbers are unreliable and they're getting less than half and they even admit it's understated in the graph.
If you're capable and motivated, law school is incredibly profitable, even outside the "big law" arena.

I reckon not everybody wants to work for "big law." There's more to law than corporate law. There's family law, estate law, immigration law, etc.
