By giving white an extra half point, they would win games that would otherwise be tied, giving every* game a clear winner.

Cutting ties does help with matching in tournaments because otherwise you might have to have rematches, and each game takes a long time. You don't want to have a situation where table 1 is waiting on table 2 to play a whole extra round to find out who they'll be up against, or where you end up having to extend the event an extra day because the final match was a tie.

yeah i like the game well enough but not having to deal with rematches is a pretty strong argument in favor
