It is more than just a bonding ritual, it is a test.
Do your feelings matter more than results? Can you take criticism? Are you brave and forthright enough to speak your mind when it is unpleasant? Do you go running for mom to tell tales when your feelings get hurt? How do you act under pressure? Are you able to forgive and move on when hot heads prevail?
These are all really, really useful things to know if a team is doing anything stressful and dangerous. Like felling trees, building roofing or fighting as a squad.
A man who has a big cry the first time someone hurts their feelings is absolutely going to fall apart when your squad is being shot at.
