To conspicuously show off how humble one is. To advertise that one doesn't have an ego, that one doesn't want or seek status or attention, doesn't care about fame/fortune, etc.

What a mid-evil-times knight experiences after being bested in battle. Something knights seek as a way of finding someone worthy enough for them to serve. A knight without humility is a knight without a banner to ride under. What king Arthur teaches Lancelot in Excalibur. The General breaking, humbling, or humiliation of a being, after which they realize they are not invincible and learn their place in the world and respect for others who can, and will, stand them on their head. Similar to what the TV show Bully Beatdown tries to teach the undisciplined. An experence better learned sooner in life while stakes are low, rather than adulthood, when other people will not meet Insolence with patience.
"I am Lancelot of the lake. I have yet to find as king worthy of my sword" "That is a wild boast, you lack a knights humility" "Not a boast, but a curse, for I have never met my match in joust or duel" -Excalibur 1981

The media hyping Simone Biles for the Tokyo games actually hurt her more than it helped her. People were aware of what she accomplished, but the media overdid it a little, and didn't allow her much room to enter the Tokyo Olympics with humility, as she did in Rio when she was not as well known. Sometimes when you go back to where you began, you don't stay lost.

Hym "Humility is for slaves. And you seem awful certain you're the one with the final say in how this goes, don't you? A little arrogant don't you think?

It is a value of YOUR FUCKING INCEST CULT and, as I am not ever going to be a part of you incest cult, is NOT one of MY values
Hym "Go fuck yourself Demetrius. If you love humility so much you can come down here... Show up on my doorstep... And humble yourself before the greatest mind who has ever lived, creator of the undying sentience!"
