For consideration, the extreme of this line of thinking is "all games should have chokehold strategies," which is clearly nonsense.

Because seeding is random.
It is somewhat ridiculous that you can build an awesome robot, pay thousands of dollars to attend championships, and then have 3 matches where neither partner is capable of possessing the ball, or really even move effectively. You basically lose those matches before they start.
And of course it's nonsense, Which is why your slippery slope fallacy is ridiculous.
