The nature of work (employment) under capitalism is different though.
Yes, children will always work. Work is a good thing. But it is for all the above reasons and more that we must not let capitalists employ children. And they're also the reasons why capitalism must be abolished entirely. It cannot be reformed.
Literally none of your points are unique to capitalism and indeed were present in economic systems for millennia prior to capitalism’s adoption.
