another reason lots of shonens have power rankings is that once you get to the level where everybody is superhuman it can be difficult to easily tell who's stronger than who. in a realistic setting you can judge people based on height, muscle mass, stance, etc. but when everyone is buff and can punch through brick walls, or has strength disconnected from their appearance (which is most shonen, especially since it allows for more varied character design) you need a way to convey relative strength. in a one-on-one this can be done more subtly, like through inner thoughts or actions that indicate each person's fighting experience, or just dialogue going "oh no! this guy's bad news!" but stuff like power levels or stand charts are an easier shorthand for the author. basically rankings are helpful so there's never a fight where the reader goes "why doesn't goku, the largest saiyan, simply eat the others"
