What are the benefits of having a bolt fluted? Is it more cosmetic than function? Or is it to clear sand/debris quickly?

Have a room temp rifle suddenly exposed to heavy snowfall. When it melts, then freezes again, the gun will turn into an ice cube. In this circumstance, fluting does chew through it better than non fluted.
Ok, I can somewhat see this although I would think ice behind/around the lugs doing more to lock up the action than clinging to the bolt body. Makes sense.
