Well when you are counting on a bull to help create the only paycheck your cows create in a year you do everything you can to help them be profitable.I can definitely tell you that you'll never catch me taking a measuring tape to a bull. I can tell by looking if he's got nuts. But if people want to use a measurement and it makes them feel they are getting a superior bull, good for them.
Bulls with small nuts have less carrying capacity. So when you have several cows come in heat at once the bull may not get them all stuck.
Scrotal measuring is the first thing my vet does in a BSE.
