The Pain of Yonkyo

Sporting a beautiful, grey bruise on my wrist, I have to question the place of Yonkyo in Aikido. Aikido, the peaceful martial art. Why then should it be necessary to inflict such pain? I have never understood the technique of Yonkyo or its place in Aikido, easily the most painful technique by far (others by comparison are enjoyable!).
Perhaps I will learn the necessity of Yonko.
