Living in human society has skewed your vision of what happens in the natural world. The majority of organisms born don't reproduce, huge amounts die between the fertilized egg -> reproductive egg stage. Since most animals don't live to reproduce the loss of one who loses all possibility only costs a fraction of what you might think, thus the beneficial effect doesn't have to be profound at all.
