Boring question #96: Do bike manufacturers actually think that padding on the upper bike frame actually helps?

There is a bike shop near my house and I peek in time to time. The BMX bikes they sell have padded sleeves on the upper bike frame and between the handlebars. If a boy is doing a trick and he slips off the seat onto the upper frame, do they actually think that pad is going to protect his family jewels from hurting as if someone tried to bat is innards up and out of his throat? If a waffle ball to the groin can double a kid over into a fetal position writhing in pain do they think his full body weight on that frame is not going to hurt even with the pads? Where did they get that ideal or is it just to make the bike look ”cool”?
