Coaches regularly teach kids to cut off the base line, which probably means kids regularly step on the OB line while doing so.

In Virginia coach that fall under the jurisdiction of the VHSL, which is to say all public schools, have to attend the same state sponsored rules meeting as we do.
It is because coaches taught the move to the OB line that the rule was formulated. This was specifically stated at our rules meeting last night so the coaches know it is their fault.
My 2 cents is that I like the rule.
