Frankly I think it's just JKR's understanding of sports being mostly the same as her understanding of anything else.

Like anything in those books, she pulled shite out of her arse with no thought to consistency or sense.

I think people focus on things that had little or no meaning to begin with. I don't see why the rules of the game had to make sense in the first place.

It's a part of good world building to have things make sense. Good world building increases immersion, which makes the stories more engaging for many. It's not a requirement for telling a good story, but it can make a good story better.

Also the inconsistencies of bad world building will be a deal breaker for some, while good world building will be a deal breaker for no one.
