It is plain, structured and familiar to recruiters in consulting, finance, law and academia. Students and graduates applying through university placement cells often use this format too.

Harvard is single column and text-first, so it parses cleanly in every ATS. Its plain structure is one reason the format is widely used for portal applications.
College students apply for part-time jobs, campus roles, research positions, scholarships and internships, often in the same year.
A fresher resume has to prove potential without a job history, so education, projects and internships do the work that experience does for everyone else.

Internship recruiters know you are still studying, so they look for curiosity, relevant coursework and proof that you can finish what you start.
