It can literally affect the citizenship of the baby which I find so strange.
Only the Americas have jus soli really. Everywhere else it's the parents' citizenships that matters.
I had to look it up, and yeah, that's kind of weird.

Jus soli is important for former colonies, especially those with large permanent colonist populations. It's an easy way to build an immigrant-based citizenship.
