It broadens the design space, and I like that. Examples include:Hit Point loss due to damageHit Point Dice lossExhaustionDeath penaltiesLowering HP maximumUnable to regain HPDisadvantage and Status effects that make you worse/weaker.As for your final point, it's not added because it isn't mechanical. I do miss ribbons for story and flavor, even if they took up space. Maybe they add a ribbon that non-creature plant life is destroyed in a radius that expands based on spell level?</blockquote>
