[Marvel] Wakanda, a nation otherwise filled with wisdom and focused on hiding and defense let their monarch be decided by ritual combat?

Wakanda has advanced technology, but socially it's thousands of years behind the rest of the world, because it has never had need nor desire to change.

It has a hereditary monarchy with ritual combat as a secondary element for the same reason that their people still use spears as their primary weapons - because it can.

And, well, it's a nation of xenophobic isolationists who believe (with some evidence) that they are innately superior to the rest of humanity. So there's that.
