Gives them more of a use in this battle.
But yeah, as for the people placing unrealistic expectations on a show that inevitably cant go into as near as much detail as the book: it was a battle. Battles on GOT are traditionally solved by people fighting and stabbing each other. "Omg it's that simple?" Yes, yes it is. Bran isn't going to wheel himself around, stop and explain a wild fan theory to the NK for the pleasure of people building up unrealistically complex ideas tying into random hints from 5 seasons ago and then watch him spontaneously explode into shards of ice. Everyone on GOT has been vulnerable to death/destruction. Why should the night king be different? It's not like beating him was exactly a walk in the park lol. There was already a lot of fan service in that episode as it was.

I do like how they didn't drop into some ridiculous cliched final speech between Bran and NK like a Bond movie. They didn't need to do anything more there. The previous 7 seasons are for that.
