Beyond that, not just the clause is unenforceable, it invalidates the whole contract.

Invalidating the whole contract is not good. You still want to get paid and get all the other benefits from the contract.

Isn't there usually a clause at the end stating that even if some parts are unenforceable, the rest of the contract still holds?

Yes, typically, there is a 'severability' clause that encodes that.

Wouldn't that clause be voided too?
