The danger with nepotism is that the favored employee will not feel the need to work hard, will not feel the need to do their best. This, of course, is unacceptable. There is nothing wrong (or illegal) with an employer using their sway to help friends and family, there is something wrong when this kindness is abused. If a family member gets a job due to nepotism, and excels at it, this is a great situation for everybody- but if a family member gets a job due to nepotism, and is terrible, then everyone loses.
