I think it more about finding themselves less relevant in a modern world, the time of the village wise woman or man has past. Kids who show signs of talent no longer have any place to go or any knowledge of what it all means. All they know is they have these cool talents and like normal kids everywhere they experiment with them and get into trouble. Meanwhile the WC has been decimated by wars over the last thousand years and have spent their time navel gazing unlike Harry who has attempted to fit into the modern world openly as a practicing wizard. As a result, zero tolerance has evolved into not just being the safest course for both worlds but the easiest to implement. But as we all know zero tolerance policies are seriously flawed because there isn't a one size fits all and justice usually isn't served by it... But those those who advocate it will argue, it keeps everyone safe so it doesn't matter that perhaps a few talented babies who might make great wizards someday are thrown out with the bath water.
