It's been adjudicated that it is.

The CBA is what sets the draft limits. The NBA used to draft players out of high school until the CBA set that there had to be one NBA season completed after the player graduated (or intended grad class if they didn't complete high school).
The NFL's CBA states there has to be three seasons completed after graduating from high school.
Why those leagues have it set that way I'm not entirely sure.

Because they're not allowed to come out openly and set a minimum age that is above the age of legal majority. They have to use workarounds.
