I get paying a decent wage but why ban tipping. Here in California there is no tipped wage difference and min wage is pretty high but I still tip whenever I get the chance because I earn a lot more than service workers and that $5 is worth more to them than me. I also appreciate that it goes directly to the workers instead of through the boss who will take god knows off the top. It should definitely not be required and discrete enough so that those who don't can't be shamed but banning it just hurts workers.

Because tipping is so ingrained customarily that if it's not banned, it will still be expected.

and there are other detriments to tipping as well, for example faculitating an environment of sexual harassment and racial discrimination.
