Why is Letting People Win a Thing?

Courtesy of Mtashed 5:20 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6Y_6g0icbg I have a question for everyone here. Why exactly, is letting others win, a positively viewed trend in our society? If you let your opponent win, you aren't teaching them anything. You aren't teaching them how to improve and learn from their experience. You aren't helping them at all; save for a brief feeling of accomplishment. Their victory, means nothing. If this trend is propagated throughout the next generations of humanity, like how this current generation is doing, we could see an increase in entitlement, narcissism and the inability to accept and learn from defeat. Today's lesson, is simple. Equality of outcome is a dangerous idea. Equality of opportunity however, is perfectly reasonable and should be embraced.

    What's wrong with playing for fun? Winning isn't everything. Normally I would agree, but the first link just makes you look like a huge asshole, you probably don't give a shit. I just wanted to throw that out there.
