Aren't those the artificial high stakes we're talking about? I'm asking what inherently high-stakes situation that is preparing you for.

For a real world situation? Just look at the Google vs Uber trial. IP theft and corporate espionage is incredibly high stakes. You can presumably make a lot of money selling secrets, but if you're rumbled, that's your career over.

Well, how about getting blackballed professionally?

After all, surely the main upside of acing university is to get into a high-stakes position.
