It's an agreement issue - we'd use "does" for a singular subject and "do" for a plural one. For example, "My younger daughter enjoys screaming at 2 a.m. more than my older daughter does." Here, the subject "older daughter" is singular, so it takes the singular helping verb "does."
But I could also write, "My wife says that my cooking lacks adequate seasoning more often than my children do." Now the subject is the plural "my children," which takes the plural helping verb "do." It also feels like I overshared. (And it's also not true. My food is spicy. My child? Meh.)
I hope that helps!
General Discussion
anyhow coming back to the point. I was wondering if you remove "do" from the above sentence then the sentence would be illogical, in the sense that you will be comparing the seasoning on your cooking vs seasoning on your children, and that's why adding "do" becomes important.
