Anything can be "consequential" -- a slip can be consequential. The point is that this is rarely the case (can you think of any? and if it was that consequential, wouldn't we expect to readily know of some famous examples?). Look at all the MMA, K1, san da, etc. fights out there -- where has this (falling on the guy) had any significance? I bet you can find loads of slams that have been consequential (Arona being slammed by Rampage, Hughes slamming Newton come quickly to mind).
Many people find ground work boring, you know that, so did the UFC and made the changes, we all know how AbuDhabi just eats up the ratings, right?
Certainly a slam is more consequential then someone falling on someone, even on purpose, due to a throw.

Praise be my Lord my Rock,
He trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle !
