It's not a prominent focal point, but it aids eye travel, which is exactly what the eye wants to accomplish! A picture with a small range of values can feel shallow and uninspiring. If there isn't enough of a pathway for the eye to follow, even if it's subtle, it might also be confusing to the spectator.
