Bethesda didn't want to make a proper CRPG with actual dialogue trees and speech checks so this is what they came up with instead
Even making random townspeople like you by impressing them with massive farts in Fable makes more sense

There's not even any point to it most of the time, it's not like you need NPCs to have a high opinion of you
You can use it on the merchants to get better deals.
But otherwise, Use Your Illusion so you can start learning paralyse spells
I don't even remember doing this in Oblivion but I'm pretty sure I played through it once and then never touched it again.
I do remember insulting people in Morrowind until they would attack me in towns so I could kill them and take their stuff without being held responsible by the guards.
Its pretty vital, alot of information about quests and locations won't be divulged unless the NPC has a high opinion of you. But its also completely trivialised by being able to bribe everyone to achieve the same effect.
