LTG, you have yet to give anything to support your position that this rule is unfair to the defense.
Isn't the entire purpose of defense, from a player's point of view, to stop the other team from scoring and get the ball?
Does this rule in anyway interfere with that purpose?
As several posters have explained, how is a TC foul any different than a PC foul?
Why should which offensive player has the ball matter?
If anything it requires better defense to draw a PC foul, so why isn't that call more unfair?
This rule may come up so rarely that it is so, a non-issue. I have officated about 100 games this summer with TC fouls in the rules and we have called it 3 times with team B in the bonus. At least 1,500 to 2,000 foul calls and it was an issue THREE TIMES.

A3 sets a screen on B1, B1 runs over A3, A3 shoots if in the bonus.
A3 sets a screen on B1, as B1 runs around A3 moves into B1 and knocks B1 down all B1 gets is the ball.
I am finished you all have a nice day and evening

If, in your first example, A3 were to only get the ball every time, there'd never be any real penalty. The penalty is to change the balance of the situation to favor the offended team. Putting a player on the line favors the team. Giving the team the ball when they otherwise don't favors that team. Those in power have deemed that these penalties are of similar magnatude.
