Without the rule change, a good coach would simply have his kicker tee it up, nudge the ball off the tee and possess the ball. B(R) would not have a chance to return it and the game would be over.

The scenario where the rule change becomes problematic to some is when A throws an illegal forward pass in the field of play on 4th down.
Exactly, that's the bigger problem. Good point Mike.
And why is this a problem?
