If I wanted to vote for Davison (or anyone but Gondek or Farkas) for example, why would I have even voted in this election?

Under the current system, why would you have bothered to vote in this election if you knew you were supporting the likely 3rd place (or worse) candidate?
At least with a ranked ballot, if you were a Davison supporter but also a #FarkNo or #Nondek person, you'd be able to show your support for the guy you liked while also throwing your support behind the person you would prefer between the two front-runners.
