If a modern US election went far outside that that would just mean some fool was burning a huge amount of money and probably to no purpose as it would cause a response from donors on the other side who would like an outcome but also aren't going to throw money away.

It's less likely for the presidency, but for other offices, it's often the case that an incumbent has only token competition.
