We think it adds an extra 'strategy' to the game.
Firstly it is interesting to seek for the stripe by looking through all the groups. Sometimes it is obvious to spot sometimes not. Once spotted you can fill in the whole group and this can unlock a lot of difficult Sudoku squares.

Granted I have stuck to the less difficult ones, but even so the stripe seems so easy to spot that it often makes the solution of the rest too much of a doddle.

What you need to add to Sudoku is something new to look out for when solving.
Stripes fit the bill, as they're a completely different sort of thing to try to spot. However I usually forget to look for them, and it adds some extra surprise when they just emerge.

They would be harder to spot and still be awfully useful in solving puzzles.
