It's because it is really an out-of-place and unbefitting tradition. Unlike in Orcish society, Nordic society no longer is one of physical/military dominance. Thus the tradition is outdated. However, some are to blinded by their history and past culture that they refuse admit the negatives of the old ways, and progress towards the future. Being a good warrior does not neccessarily mean being a good king. I'm not saying that the Nords have to completely abandon their traditions, but that they can't cling to them and refuse to progress, if they wish to become an effective society. I rest my case.
