The point to the restricted to the dugout on this is the coach is responsible for the kids until game over or back to school on a roadie. This allows the player to remain in the dugout where the coach can keep an eye on him.

Not true. Even an ejected player (not a coach) is sent to the dugout.
The point is that, in some states, an Ejected player is automatically suspended for the next game. The rules committee felt this was too big of a penalty for this infraction, so they changed the penalty to restricted to the dugout. No Ejection -- no suspension.
