Because it's a very specific kind of violent intra-male competition that only occurs in polygynous/"tournament" species that results in very large size difference dimorphism between males and females in mammals.

I don't read a lot of ABO, but doesn't the whole bonding thing preclude alphas from mating with a ton of omegas? An alpha can't win the right to mate with a bunch of them by beating up all the other alphas, so his superior size/strength serves no purpose.

In species that mate for life, competition exists for the "best" mates, but these competitions involve displays of affection/skill/dedication/competence in childrearing/etc. in addition to attractiveness/health and are undertaken equally by males and females of that species. It doesn't look like chest-beating, rutting alphas.
