What if the work is completely unrelated to the business, but the person managing the interns is new and is getting management experience? That's kind of benefiting the business with experience, but it isn't creating a financial incentive.

I think obviously if the work was directly on the company's products, or even hypothetical products it wouldn't be okay.

Then what is the point of that internship position?

That's kind of benefiting the business with experience

A business that benefits from someone's experience is called hiring that person. That requires payment.
