What about 10 year olds who aren't mature enough to deal with winning and losing highly competitive games. Some kids aren't at that age. A lot of kids quit sports for this reason exactly.
I see this as a way to keep more kids involved for a longer period of time.
I find the responses on this site to be skewed considering we're all sports fans and probably enjoy playing and competing in sports. Nothing wrong with kids being a winner, problem is when they start calling other kids losers.
