The reason is pretty obvious. The goal of the participants in a political dialogue is to become more liked and to make competitors less liked. It has nothing to do with "raising the level of discourse and understanding on that topic" -- that's just NOT the point of the exercise.
It probably continues because of the expectation of debates - no one would introduce them if they didn't already exist today.
