I did my own research
and found that the American Ribbed Toad is otherwise known as a 'tailed frog' - and the tail is in fact an "extension of the male cloaca."
So it's more likely ribbed for their pleasure, I guess the females' pleasure specifically, since they employ internal fertilisation and the females are presumably the ones selecting for bigger male sex organs.

I barely spend any time on my hands.
What do you have against knowing stuff?

Nothing
But amphibians, although lovely, are not a topic I feel like spending time on
