While it does have its faults (accidental betrayals, team killing, etc.), it also does a lot more for the game in general than you'd think.
Without friendly fire, you'd be able to lob explosives into a firefight if even a teammate was there. With friendly fire you're forced to use your weapon or help your teammate back out of the fight so you can clean up the damaged enemies. If you don't play like this and choose to throw the explosive or fire the vehicle mortar anyway, you kill both your teammate and the enemy, which gives them a kill and/or a betrayal for you.
It's a necessary part of Halo. There just needs to be a good betrayal system in place.
We also have to factor in the wee thing too. Occasionally once in a blue moon, an awesome betrayal happens that everyone enjoys and laughs at. Don't you dare remove my ability to accidentally betray a teammate across the map with a rolling hog tire!
