ELI5: If the government considers you an adult at 18, than why does federal financial aid deem you inelegible for assistance if you're parents make too much money?

I have some friends that have this issue and can't go to school because of it. I would guess it's because they assume the parents will pay for it. However many parents either cant or won't pay, leaving alot of kids screwed over something they can't control.
