Because we're discussing a game which uses a points system for the
specific
purpose of generating reasonably balanced games. Imbalance thus means
that
the points system does not fulfil its one and only reason for existing,
therefore imbalance is bad in this context.
Real-world comparisons are completely irrelevant in the game balance
context, because the real world 1) is not a game and 2) does not use
points
systems to make contests reasonably even.
