Think of it this way. If everybody achieved the same lap time does that mean everybody is entitled to receive first place & 25 points?
In motor racing events where grid placing is dictated by the fastest lap time recorded in Pole Position, in the event of two (or more) matched lap times the first driver to achieve the matched time gets the higher grid placing.
In athletics, 100m sprint for example, two identical times share the position because they're sprinting against each other at the same time.
Ok never knew that, and it may be needed in future but not today, it seems
