Isn't this fatal for the left tree (and as a result possibly for the right one as well)?

I'm no tree expert but I'm reasonably sure trees are fairly shit at dealing with large "wounds". Infections can now enter the core of the tree and insects can eat away at the nutrient-rich interior which isn't very ideal.

This is done with very young trees and doesn't leave one tree with an open "flesh wound" so I'm not sure how well this compares.
