Why not? It shows how unhinged these kids are, and the lengths they're willing to go to get back at ghouls. Also, it's a fact that Academy trainees are encouraged to see ghouls as inhuman monsters that only deserve being butchered, though I don't think Hajime needed much nudging - the Zero Squad kids already mentioned his hatred for ghouls is beyond normal.

Now if the rest of the Oggai are also Academy trainees or Garden alumni, it's pretty easy to see why they went through with becoming monsters. Takizawa himself said it - you become what you fear, and you won't be afraid anymore.

...though I suspect at least some of the Oggai are in just because they are happy sadists.
