Of course the top club programs place a premium on winning and being dominant. Pushing the envelope with the holdbacks enhances their chances dramatically and unfairly. But, most importantly the holdbacks are more likely to be recruited as sophomores and freshman and that ladies and gentleman is the best form of advertising the elite clubs have. The Crabs have holdbacks that would be D1 recruits as on age players, by holdingback they become dominant high level recruits. It draws the parents and kids in like flies! All of the top clubs have holdbacks, the Crabs just have the most that do not need to be heldback!
