Just like if football games were scripted, there would really be little to no drama for the first 58 minutes because people would tune out if it was gonna be a blowout.

Like I said earlier, you can have drama. But the drama you can have can be accomplished in a normal match. The points really don't matter. The real end of the match is gonna come in the final minute or so. The "score" throughout the match is irrelevant. So why not add the drama of one fall possibly coming out of nowhere and all that comes along with it and just have a long match?
it's still presented as "legit competition" tho. By that line of thinking, pro wrestling may as well not exist. I'm not even that big of a fan of the stipulation except as a rare "super athlete vs. super athlete" kind of deal, HBK/Bret, HHH/Rock, HBK/Kurt, Brock/Kurt etc. But I certainly think it can have a place and has its uses.
