    It makes folks who are good at the game feel better about themselves.

    Take away the rewards for third place, and you lose anybody who isn't good enough to get a high win rate.
    Which is ironic because the whole meta comp always works on these clueless/new players despite that meta comps are easy to counter or avoid, if people really do put in the effort and learn the game mode they can tell what is going (and see that dumb DRK run up from a mile away)

    Not so much ironic, as intentional.

    People WANT to feel powerful, so the influx of people who play badly, so folks who are good CAN feel powerful, is intentional.

    If they cut the last place rewards, those crazy good feels from power plays goes away.

    Bad players let good players feel awesome.
