The point is, I don't think anyone really knows the intention. I believe it's mostly a relic of the old rule that one had to qualify with race fuel. It's some sort of weird idea that hampering the top 10 drivers has a positive effect on the race. Who knows anymore at this point? And to me it also doesn't really matter. In my opinion it harms the midfield teams, reduces strategy options and also reduces the amount of racing that can be done in the first stint. And for people who like that stuff it can also help with building excitement before the race.

I watch every MotoGP race (as I think anyone who likes racing should ) and it's often a mystery who starts on what tyre right until the tyre warmers go off for the warm up lap. And it's much more likely that someone throws a curveball with tyre selection and wins the race unexpectedly. More strategy options = better racing, in my opinion.
