There's no "need" for any of the things in the game; their purpose is to be entertaining.
Thats not true.
Additionally, it is a direct example of what devolved the whole genre of RPGs and brought age of decline. That right there is mass market, publisher mentality of ignorance and greed and putting false sense of entitlement to be "entertained" in the cheapest ways possible as the only goal.
Its design by the lowest common denominator.
I wont even try to teach you about concepts such as internal coherence, logic, plausibility, consistency and even more complicated notions of writing things of quality, because if you had any incling about those things you wouldnt be able to write that sentance.
Lets just say that what you consider "entertaining" i wouldnt touch with a ten meter pole. Unless it had a high voltage tazer at the end. Or better yet a plasma torch.
