Namely in fighting games, I’ve noticed that bracket seeding is often determined prior to the tournament through rankings — but, why not let it be randomized? What difference does a seeded and non seeded tournament make?

I believe it gives the player or team more incentive to win the qualifying matches knowing they will get an “easier” first round in the playoffs at the same time giving the last seed a fighting chance.
Inversely if the seeding did not matter what is to prevent any player or team of just tanking once they qualified.
If seeding does not matter why not just give the player with the most wins in qualifying the championship in the end? Forgo the whole bracket?
