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?

You don’t want the two most likely winners to meet each other in the first round and then have the finale be an anticlimatic average player (who by chance only encountered the bottom half of players) meeting the almost guaranteed victor.
So they deliberately sort the best players into different brackets to have them meet up late in the tournament.
