What happens if B kicks the ball on the inbounds is that A gets penalized. Not because A made a bad basketball play, but because B violated. Why am I the only one that thinks that's unfair?
It's an exact parallel to losing or keeping the privilege of running the baseline. If B kicks the ball on the inbounds pass after a made basket, A gets that privilege back. How is keeping the arrow any different?

How does A get penalized? They've still got the ball. They would never have had it without the arrow. They haven't lost the arrow, they've already used it.
With the baseline, the new rule makes sure that A doesn't actually lose anything due to B's violation. With a kick after an AP, A doesn't lose a thing. They've still got the ball, and they got it due to the arrow.

In any other situation with an AP throw-in, they haven't used the arrow until the ball is legally inbounded. In this case the ball has not been legally inbounded, through no fault of their own, yet they lose the arrow. Which IS the same as the privilege of running the baseline. They don't lose the privilege because the opponent violates. If they lose the arrow on the kick, they are penalized for what THE OPPONENT did. They haven't used the arrow, they've had it taken away.
