It robs people of the chance to win, period.

When everyone is the best, then no one is. Imagine if 4 teams won the Superbowl each year.. or if 3 men won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.. or if 10 contestants were crowned "The new American Idol"... Winning would ultimately lose it's value.

I'd rather be ranked #25 in my graduating class than have to share the title of "the best" with potentially dozens of other people.
