On the field, have you ever thought "hey, that alliance should get to go to champs instead of us -- so we will let them win"?
There are 2 ways teams can earn a spot, and one way is totally in line with what you're saying. My team has never won due to robot performance (though I won't be finishing a Master's degree and planning a wedding next build season, so that may change), and it isn't something we're ashamed of.
That said, there will always be a need for teams who want to buy a slot. I've already beaten that horse though.
