HaRav Noach Orlowek, in his sefer My Child, My Disciple quotes HaRav Chaim Pinchus Sheinberg on page 131: "Parents should not offer sweets too often as an incentive for good behavior. Too many sweets can be conducive to the development of a personality which is geared to pleasure seeking, especially in the realm of physical gratification. Toys or games are therefore preferable, especially since they can be shared."
Pleasure seeking and physical gratification is the apex of the secular world surrounding us - priorities from which we specifically distance ourselves on Simchas Torah.
