Why not? Bots are too lower rated compared to human players. They are just underrated and the best way to balance the situation is to let bots play with other human players. There is no way Alireza, Carlsen, Naroditsky or Hikaru beat Stockfish15 at bullet but guess what? Bots using stockfish14, stockfish15, leela and other strong softwares rated around 2800 when Carlsen, Alireza are +3200, even +3300. This is not fair and bots interaction with other humans makes ratings more decisive.
