Not sure if your comment was meant to be sarcastic or not. Hard to tell here...  . But, IF it was a negative comment, there is surely an opportunity to make an alternate suggestion.
In my opinion, one of the main reasons for playing was the "forced" matches with various opponents that one may never have played (otherwise). And for each completed game, there was/is a Ratings adjustment. Completing the tournement in a certain position is nice but having gained rating points is really the most important when all is done and said.
