I get your point.
But USA needs to compete in the "marketplace" for teams.
If some teams want to take a more "casual", "friendly", or "show case" approach to pool play (i.e. play for seeding), it doesn't really hurt anything once the championship brackets begin (except perhaps their own team's seeding).
