question: why is helium so widely used in rocket engines? What purpose does it serve? Is it possible to do without it or replace it with something else?

I mean, I know the RS-25 uses it its hygrogen seal, but looking at this raptor diagram it looks like it uses it as well.

Fire looks like it's coming from the methane turbopump. Not something that can just be brushed off.
