Not Really, No. (Destiny)

No one is forcing them to showcase the top three teams--they're basically doing it for bragging rights/statistical measures.
I went looking through the Archives, and the heavy point penalty makes even less sense now. A couple of the updates specifically use the word "reward"--meaning pride and/or positive impressions from Bungie upon these players. None of them specify what the reward is(let's just assume it's an emblem for placeholder), but those top three teams get it, and no one else does. If Bungie didn't want us getting 90K+ at once, why plaster their names at the end of each update and give them rewards as well?
That's like praising a dog for pooping in your bed until he's trained to do it, then scolding him after it becomes routine.
