Agreed, they are a ground path. Over time corrosion/etc can affect the quality of the ground, hence some add a cable from the battery frame connection to the motor or trans. - can help especially 6V with the starter. Same concept as adding dedicated grounds to each headlight instead of relying on the head light/head light bar mechanical connections - can help improve brightness of head lights.
