Letting interest compound on debt you owe, when you can pay it off quicker, is fricken dumb. Each way, every way, any day.

What if I can put money towards something that has a higher ROI than the interest being accrued on my student loan principle? This isn’t credit card level interest rates my guy.

Because you can lose your job tomorrow and have to use all of that you invested to pay the loan anyway.

And the market, and economy, can do what it has exactly done these past two years and erase a large amount, if not all, of the gain and there you are.

Plus, more than likely, that extra money for investments is going to eventually find its way into a house, boat, or vehicle payment…. That bears more interest on debt. Probably what has happened in the Rob vs. Robert story in the OP.
