The same can be said about a siyum. Just because some guy says the names of
Rav Pappa's sons we get to party, and have meat during the 9 days? (Or eat
on erev pesach?)

Rather, it's clear that a seudas mitzvah is warranted for a significant
milestone or accomplishment. The poskim have said a bar mitzvah is
significant enough for that, and I don't see why a bat mitzvah would be any
different.
