I imagine because the government is factoring in unclaimed tips and so they earn a lower wage.

There are two separate wages because liquor servers make some of their income from tips. The fact that they might not claim the tips is irrelevant. Their $9.05 minimum wage isn't $9.05 less the claimed tips with the difference made up with unclaimed tips.
