In practice it just makes bad teams worse longer because they aren't getting new talent. But playoff bubble teams can make big jumps year to year.

I guess that's the rush is a really bad team who can't win anything at all. I could see it being horrible for baseball or some league that really struggles with parity and no salary cap, etc.

But NHL and PWHL don't seem to have that kind of problem as much. I guess it does risk someone falling to the basement and not being able to climb out, though.
